Knokkon and MosterRosa came up with on idea of producing an ecofriendly scarf together. The fabric is beautiful fishbone fabric with nettle and hemp fibre which grow with very little water.
Knokkon’s goal is to keep the carbon footprint of its products as small as possible. The materials are ecological and are sourced as close as possible. The nettle and the hemp fibres are ecologically and ethically cultivated in Germany. The fibres have been removed mechanically, without water, by an innovative method. The cotton used as a binder for nettle fibre is produced ethically and ecologically. The yarn is spun in Germany and the scarves are knitted in Finland. The nettle-cotton scarf is an ecological choice also because no herbicides or pesticides are used in the cultivation of the materials.
Thank you for choosing an ethically produced organic product!
