Ordered a sweater from a Canadian company that recycles cashmere and merino, combining it with new merino in order to create new fabric for their garments. The collection is modest - and somewhat rustic. Reviews were good. I bought one of their cashmino beanies a couple of years ago, and it has been my ‘go to’ hat for winter. The sweater is from the same composition of cashmere and merino - however knit in a different pattern.

I’ve worn the new sweater every day since it arrived last week! It’s oh so nice - super soft! I understand that recycled fibres are usually short, and short fibres are prone to pilling. Pilling wasn’t reported much in the reviews though, so I’m optimistic. FWIW, I now own a good de-piller after a favourite coat developed the problem and I decided it was worth the effort of de-pilling to keep it going.

The company is called Anian, and they are out of British Colombia. (I can’t seem to be able to cut and paste…)
