We source wool from the High Andes for our sweaters. Few sheep produce warmer wool than those in the Andes. Their fleece protects them as they roam valleys shadowed by Southern Argentina’s glacial peaks. 

Sheep naturally come in shades of grey and brown. We chose undyed, naturally-colored wool, so we can offer color options without synthetic chemical dyes, preserving the wool’s natural benefits.

The wool is grown in the High Andes, spun in Arequipa, Peru, and handknit in Lima. 

Benefits of High Andean Wool

+ Naturally Insulating: The wool comes from near the arctic where sheep are extremely efficient at keeping warm in the cold

+ Protection from the Elements: wicks and absorbs moisture to keep you dry, absorbs UV, and acts as wind barrier

+Odor Resistance: absorbs and neutralizes odor to keep you fresh and reduce the need for washing

+Breathability: circulates air and moisture to keep you comfortable in any conditions

Our superfine Merino wool is from a collective of regenerative ranches in the American West. The rare Merino variety they grow reflects the rugged mountains and vast meadows the sheep roam.

The wool is grown in Colorado, Oregon, California, and Nevada, spun in North Carolina, knit in Massachusetts, cut and sewn in Los Angeles, and naturally dyed in Montana.

Our wool baselayers are processed to preserve this unique raw material’s quality, natural properties, and many benefits.
