Manufacturing and Sourcing
Made from fine Merino wool, Delaine & Co. sweaters provide an ideal balance of next-to-skin comfort, temperature regulation and moisture wicking. No other fiber matches the adaptable power of wool.
Wool Source
Breathability, softness, elasticity, technical performance are only one side of quality. To achieve excellence, a 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable fiber is also required.
Delaine sources 100% merino wool from a Climate Beneficial™ verified ranch in California spun and processed in the US, and a family farm in Australia spun and processed at Woolmark certified Zegna Baruffa in Italy. We use 21 and 19.5 micron diameter wool fiber that provides a soft feel, but maintains its strength and durability for an outerwear garment.
Manufacturing and Quality
Delaine & Co. sweaters are designed and manufactured in the United States. Design, quality control, shipping and customer service are located at our headquarters in New Hampshire. Our US based manufacturing partners have made a huge investment in state-of-the-art knitting and finishing equipment and are committed to bringing high quality garment manufacturing back to the US.
Sustainability
In partnership with Climate Beneficial™ and Woolmark Certified suppliers, our wool sources contribute to the expansion of climate benefitting land stewardship through sustainable farming practices. As a natural fiber, our wool is grown and raised in a way that maximizes the drawdown of carbon from the atmosphere to help restore ecosystem health and stabilize our climate.
