Dale of Norway aim to generate very little waste fabric, only 1-2%, as opposed to cut & sew where more than 20% waste fabric is common. Not only does this substantially reduce the consumption of raw materials, but it also leads to a corresponding reduction in wool and yarn to be processed and transported. The Dale factory has been powered by local Bergsdal river for over 140 years.
