From the flock to the finished garment: km0 merino wool
When you think of a merino wool sweater, you often focus on its softness, its ability to keep you warm without making you sweat, or the comfort it provides on every occasion. But behind every Lanaioli garment, there is much more: there is a story that begins in local pastures, grows in the hands of Italian artisans, and reaches your wardrobe. It is the story of km0 merino wool.
A noble and natural fiber
The merino wool is one of the most precious natural fibers in the world. It is light and soft on the skin. It is thermoregulating, meaning it maintains a constant body temperature both in cold and heat, and has breathable properties that make it perfect even for those who lead an active life. Not only that: it is naturally antibacterial and does not retain odors, reducing the need for frequent washing and extending the garment's lifespan.
Km0 farms
The difference in our garments starts far away: from the merino sheep of local breeders. They are raised with respect for their well-being, following methods that ensure gentle and non-invasive shearing. For us, it is not just about producing wool but also about enhancing the territory.
From fleece to yarn
Once the fleece is collected, the process continues with artisanal procedures carried out entirely in Italy. After washing and carding, the wool is spun and transformed into fabrics of excellent quality. The skilled hands of our artisans then turn those yarns into sweaters and accessories that tell a story of tradition and innovation at the same time. Every garment is the result of hours of work, attention to detail, and passion.
The value of km0
The term “km0” is often associated with food, but for us it means responsible fashion. It means reducing transportation, minimizing environmental impact, and keeping the entire production cycle close to home. A short supply chain is synonymous with sustainability.
A garment that lasts
Choosing Lanaioli's km0 merino wool is not just an aesthetic decision. It is an investment in quality, in a garment that will last over time and maintain its beauty season after season. It is also an ethical choice: you support Italian artisanal work, respect the environment, and contribute to a slower, more conscious fashion model.
From the flock to the finished garment, every Lanaioli sweater tells a story of nature, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Wearing it means wrapping yourself not only in warmth but also in authentic values.
