Our first set of yarns for the &Make range each include Fairtrade hard-wearing Peruvian Highland wool in the blend. This wool was recommended by our partner mill in Peru with whom we have worked for nearly 20 years. We are proud to support the work of the fair trade suppliers of this wool and to include the Peru Fair Trade logo on our &Make labels.
