The story of Rosy Green Wool
Merino d’Arles Wool is developed by the company Rosy Green Wool, established in 2012 by Rosy and Patrick. Rosy is an active knitter and she wondered why is there no wool that does not itch, that is available in beautiful colours and that is guaranteed to be produced without animal suffering or human exploitation?
The search for the perfect wool led into the company Rosy Green Wool . Soft wool feels even better when it is ethically produced. This is why the wool is obtained from certified organic farms. It is spun and dyed in small quantities in manufactories in England, according to exact specifications. It is also 100% independently certified in accordance with GOTS – Organic and Fair.
