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.
Wool is a 100% natural and renewable fibre with quite a few unique properties:
Wool can refresh itself simply by hanging in fresh air. Fewer washing cycles saves laundry detergent and energy – and prolongs the lifespan of the garment.
Wool is washed on lower temperatures or even hand washed, saving laundry detergent and energy.
High-quality wool garments have longer lifespan than other garments. Research has proved wool garment to be used twice as long as garments made of cotton.
High-quality wool garments are reused and recycled more often than other garments.
