These gorgeous red and pink coloured strands of 50 grams (1.76 oz) are made up of three multicoloured threads and primarily suited to be used in combination with our Lucet.  The knitting yarn is made from 100% organic wool.  The variegation and quality of the knitting yarn is guaranteed to be very colourful and make particularly strong ropes with our braiding/knitting fork (Lucet) or otherwise.  Of course, the wool can be processed with knitting needles #4 and #5.  The knitting wool is available in different colours as well.

One 50 gram skein (1.76 oz).

Made in Germany.

About the Maker - Filges

Background

We founded our family enterprise in 1985. In the beginning, we only ran a small manual spinning plant and our wool combing works. Then we added our plant colour dyeing mill.

1985 | Founding of Filges' Manual Spinning Plant
1991 | Purchase of our first carding machine
1994 | Opening of our shop in Steinhagen
1996 | Bioland-certification
1998 | Removal of the dyeing mill to the Eco-Tec-Park
1998 | Renaming to Wollmanufaktur Filges ("Wool Factory Filges")
2007 | Inauguration of the manufacturing plant in Wallenhorst

Production

We only use German wool. We produce exclusively in Germany, using plant based dyes.

The principles that rule our personal life also apply in the manufacturing and distribution of our products: We want to use and to produce sustainable, ecological and emission-free products.






Sustainability

We use only renewable resources. We guarantee the eco-friendliness of our production processes.

Since 1995 we are a Bioland-certified manufacturer of sheep wool, and since 2015 we are a member of the IVN (Internationaler Verband der Naturtextilwirtschaft, International Association of Natural Textiles). Our wool comes exclusively from sheep raised in certified organic animal husbandry in Germany. Our dyes are plant-based. For mordants we use alum and tartar.

Enjoy the naturalness of our products as we do!

Social Responsibility

Wollmanufaktur Filges sees itself as an active part of a community shaped by the mutual respect of its members. Our intent is to act in an environmentally sustainable manner in order to preserve natural resources, avoid harmful effects upon nature and mankind and promote biodiversity.

In order to make these goals traceable for consumers, our company is Bioland-certified since 1996. You can look up the Bioland standards to gain an impression of what this means in detail. Furthermore, we not only design our products to be natural and unharmful to one's health, but also want them to be valuable in a social sense.

Lastly, we attach major importance to the fact that, if possible, all raw goods used during production come from Germany. This is the only way for us to ensure that unnecessary climate-damaging transports are avoided and that we do not support non-transparent or unethical working conditions.
