From Sheep to Sweater: The Journey of Our Merino Wool at Liograft
At Liograft, we're passionate about creating high-quality, sustainable garments that feel as good as they look. Our commitment to using the finest merino wool means understanding its journey, from the sheep to your sweater. So, let's embark on a journey through the process of creating the luxurious pieces you find in our store.
The Source: Happy Sheep, Happy Wool
Our merino wool originates from ethically raised sheep in Australia, renowned for their exceptional fleece. The sheep graze freely on lush pastures, enjoying the open spaces and fresh air. Their well-being is paramount, ensuring the wool is naturally soft, strong, and free from harsh chemicals.
Harvesting the Fleece: A Gentle Process
Shearing season marks the beginning of our journey. Skilled shearers gently remove the fleece, a process done with care and respect for the sheep. The fleece is then meticulously sorted and graded, ensuring only the highest quality wool makes it to our workshop.
The Transformation: From Fleece to Yarn
The journey continues with meticulous cleaning and scouring, removing any impurities. This process uses gentle, natural detergents, preserving the wool's integrity and natural properties. Next, the wool is meticulously spun into yarn, where skilled artisans carefully blend and twist fibers, creating the desired textures and strengths for our garments.
Crafting the Garments: The Art of Knitting
The yarn then embarks on a new stage, where skilled knitters meticulously craft our sweaters using traditional techniques. Each stitch is a testament to their expertise and passion for creating garments that are both durable and comfortable.
