More and more brands are focusing on using sustainable materials these days and while that often means special technology to create circular processes for recycling fibres, there’s also a move towards more locally-sourced materials.

And that’s being seen in one key area — wool. Scotch & Soda is the latest in a number of companies to release a collection using local wool and said it’s continuing its “journey towards integrating more Dutch wool into its supply chain with a limited-edition unisex capsule collection, all made from 100% Dutch wool”.

The offer features a unisex cardigan, vest, beanie and scarf – made together with the Knitwit Stable using locally sourced wool and alpaca yarn. 

Knitted in Italy, all items in the capsule feature a specially designed artwork and are made with 100% natural, undyed yarns from 80% Kempen Heath sheep and 20% Alpaca that graze in the Netherlands.

The news comes just days after Filippa K announced a capsule based on Circulose that also came with the return of the label’s signature Swedish Wool sweaters.

The company has been launching a new sweater design made from Swedish wool each year since 2019 and with it being an award-winning supply chain initiative and is continuing the eco focus for AW22 too.
