Marking another step closer on our journey to becoming a more sustainable business, we are pleased to launch the KTW50 coating fabric. Designed and woven in partnership with British Wool (BW), using the finest, sustainable British wool fibres.
British Wool (formerly BW Marketing Board) is owned by approximately 35,000 sheep farmers in the UK. They collect, grade, market, and sell BW on behalf of UK producers to the international wool textile industry for use in flooring, furnishings and apparel. There are six key principles to BW that not only make it unique, but they also offer buyers peace of mind that the product they are purchasing is truly the right choice.
Below are the six points we must adhere to.
- Environmentally sustainable
- Quality assured
- Traceable
- Socially Responsible
- Non-mulesed wool
- Kind to animals
Kind to the planet and bursting with personality, KTW50 has a low carbon footprint and is available in a stunning array of bright retro-inspired pop-colours. Breathing new life into classic designs.
The unique, larger rounded, yarn strings create a substantial fabric with a luxurious handle that stays true to its BW source. Offering more versatility, we offer a captivating jacketing quality in melange colours, to compliment KTW50 and delight the wearer.
By participating in the BW scheme, we source high-quality, traceable wool fibres while supporting British sheep farmers and rural communities. Their commitment to social responsibility aligns perfectly with our own, ensuring ethical production practices throughout the supply chain. This allows us to offer our customers ethically produced, quality-assured products made with beautiful, sustainable British wool.
Additionally, we prioritise animal welfare, and the scheme ensures the sheep are raised according to high ethical standards. By choosing British wool, we are able to support local communities. Contributing to a more sustainable future for the textile industry.
KTW50 is a true celebration of eco-conscious cloth. To request a sample, email sales@kynochofscotland.co.uk
