To new frontiers! These three well-known yarn constructions have been recreated with innovative fibers.
During the course of evolution, we moved out of the water onto the land. For the yarn OCEANIA, we decided to look back to our origins and search out innovative fibres from the oceans. Enriched with brown algae from seaweed, SEACELL is nourishing and revitalizing for the skin. It is moisture-wicking and completely biodegradable. The algae used in the fibres come from the oceans, they are harvested in fjords using sustainable methods.

SIEMPRE will impress you with its soft handle and hand-dyed tone-on-tone effect, a mixture of classic cotton and cupro. Cupro, also known as vegan silk, is a viscose produced from cotton linter, a waste product of the cotton industry, which gives the yarn a shimmer and a cooling touch, resulting in flowing, crease-resistant pieces.
From stinging nettle to soft and fluffy yarn – it isn’t every day that we use a weed to make a yarn, even if it is a useful one. Although it is true that nettle fibres have been used in clothing for thousands of years. Spun along with a bundle of light and soft cotton, the nettle fibres give the yarn ORTICA a unique wave effect. You can expect knits with a naturally lively surface and a play of matte and shiny fibres.
