Mindful Making

Wool is an amazing product: natural, renewable, durable, and recyclable. At Kvadrat we make full use of all its qualities. But our interest in this raw material begins a long time before it is transformed into textile. 

Our woollen textiles are made out of the highest quality New Zealand wool. We source our wool from here for two reasons: Firstly, the farms here are dedicated to sustainable farming and have developed an efficient means of production that make use of traditional techniques. Secondly, they produce the most consistently high quality wool.

Good quality wool and animal welfare are closely linked to our corporate values and responsible approach to our business. We require that our wool suppliers follow our code of conduct and comply with animal welfare regulations.Therefore the production of this important raw material plays a crucial role in our culture of sustainability.

羊毛的好处

了解使用羊毛的好处,包括它的舒适性能,耐久性和我们提供的护理信息和指导,易于面料护理。
羊毛是一种天然纤维,具有许多优良的性能:

舒适
羊毛柔软透气,舒适度高。羊毛具有优秀的保温隔热性和吸收水分的特征,适合在冷热环境中使用。

 

耐磨
羊毛织物具有良好的耐磨性且不易起皱。羊毛纤维卷曲有弹性,使纱线耐拉伸,且容易回到原始态。

耐沾污
羊毛比其它类型的纤维更能防尘。羊毛具有一层不沾水表层,污渍产生时可被擦拭掉而不致产生永久沾污。

 

阻燃性

羊毛本质上就具有阻燃性,因为它的燃点极高。它既无滴落也不熔化,只能被烧焦。如果火柴或烟头的灰烬落在其上,只会产生一块印迹,且可以被刷去。

 

抗菌性
羊毛纤维具有天然的抗水性和抗土壤性,表层对微生物的吸引力较小。
众所周知,羊毛具有抗菌特性,可以抑制各种微生物的生长,如霉菌、细菌和病毒。
保持羊毛干燥很重要,因为水在羊毛纤维与微生物的关系中起着关键作用。

Comfortable

Wool is comfortable, as it is soft and breathable. Thanks to its insulating properties and ability to absorb moisture, wool is suitable for both cold and hot climates.

Hard wearing

Woollen textiles can withstand a high degree of wear and have very little tendency to crease. Wool ages with grace, due to its excellent abrasion resistance and high elasticity.

Dirt repellent

Wool resists dirt to a greater extent than other types of fibres. Wool has a water-repelling surface and permits spills to be wiped off before permanent staining occurs.

Flame retardant

Wool has a high ignition temperature. It neither drips nor melts, but chars. If a glowing ember from a match is dropped on it, there will only be a singed mark, which can typically be brushed off.
