Semilla Melange by BC Garn

Semilla Melange by BC Garn Semilla Melange by BC Garn – The rustic appearance is achieved by not combing and sorting the individual fibres as extensively as in worsted yarns, where almost all fibres lie parallel. Instead, the curls are allowed to lie a bit more randomly, creating that lovely volume. Additionally, the raw material yield is higher in woollen spun yarns compared to worsted yarns. The raw wool for Semilla Melange comes from mulesing-free farms in Argentina and is spun and dyed in Turkey according to GOTS guidelines. Each stage of the production process is audited and certified according to GOTS criteria. From the contented sheep in the pasture to the dyes, spinning process, energy and resource consumption, and last but not least, the well-being of all employees along the entire production chain. GOTS is a guarantee for focus on the environment and sustainability in all stages of the manufacturing process. Standards are high in relation to e.g. the dying process, handling of waste water and energy usage is monitored on an ongoing basis, along with social and work related aspects of the manufacturing process.
