Origins and history of Wool
Wool is one of the oldest and most versatile textile fibers, used since ancient times to make clothing, blankets, rugs, and other products.
Wool quality
Wool has many qualities that make it suitable for different seasons and situations: it is warm, soft, breathable, durable, flame-retardant, and biodegradable.
However, wool production also has environmental costs related to animal farming, shearing, dyeing, and fiber treatment.
Mechanical wool or regenerated wool: the frontier of the circular economy
There is a technique called regenerated wool that reduces negative effects and promotes fabric recycling. This technique reuses old garments or wool scraps to create new fabrics.
How is mechanical wool produced?
Regenerated wool is born from the collection and selection of wool rags, which are then shredded, refined, and spun again.
This process allows obtaining wool of quality, with qualities similar to virgin wool, but with significant savings in natural and energy resources.
In fact, regenerated wool requires less water, less energy, and fewer CO2 emissions compared to new wool. Additionally, it helps reduce the amount of textile waste ending up in landfills or the environment.
Today, regenerated wool has made a comeback thanks to growing awareness of sustainability and the circular economy.
Mechanical wool or regenerated wool for a sustainable fashion supply chain
Many fashion and design brands use regenerated wool to create innovative, beautiful, and functional garments with environmental responsibility.
Regenerated wool is therefore an eco-friendly fiber that offers benefits for both producers and consumers.
Producers can reduce costs and production impacts while enhancing a natural and renewable material.
Consumers can purchase and wear quality garments that last over time and respect the environment: sweaters for women or men.
Regenerated wool is an example of how tradition and innovation can be reconciled, creating a virtuous cycle between production and consumption.
This is how men's regenerated cashmere sweaters and women's regenerated cashmere sweaters by Lanaioli are born.
