Merino Pullover Monochrome Unisex
The Monochrome knit sweater made of 100% organic merino wool sets new accents. Simple, with that certain something. Calm, but not shy. Single-colored, and yet anything but monotonous. With it you are stylishly, practically and functionally dressed for every occasion - whether on the mountain top or in the office.
In the size indication, the first size refers to the men's size and the second size refers to the women's size. E.g. L/XL stands for men's L / women's XL.

Usage
With the Merino Pullover Monochrome you always cut a good figure. A sustainable, high-performance and microplastic-free alternative to conventional fleece.Knitted from 100% pure, South American organic merino wool. This natural fiber convinces with several talents: It has an odor-inhibiting effect and can be worn much longer than synthetic fibers. It can absorb many times more moisture without feeling wet. In addition, breathable and temperature-regulating - what more could you want ...Thanks to the flat knitting technique used, the sweater is very light and packs down small.Despite the tight knit type, it can happen that you get caught with Velcro fasteners, branches, jewelry, etc. and pull a thread out of the rope. If this should happen, most of them can be withdrawn with a little skill and patience.With heavy use, "pilling" can occur - the friction causes knots of wool on the surface. This is normal for 100% merino knitted sweaters and can hardly be prevented. -

Almost perfect in ecological sustainability: the knitted Sweater II scores 47.83 out of 50 points in the 3 themes of ecological sustainability:
1. Detox (28.45/30)
The wool for the yarn is washed, finished and dyed according to OEKOTEX guidelines. Our ultra-hard detox test could not find any dangerous chemicals in the yarn. This test has not yet been carried out on the labels.
2. Closed Loop (9.38/10)
The sheep eats grass every year and lets its fur grow, from which we can make sustainable sweaters year after year - 100% renewable. Since we do not use dangerous chemicals in the processing and dyeing of the wool, you can compost your sweater at the end of its life and thus close the cycle. Just cut away the logos beforehand ;).
3. CO2-neutral (10/10)
The wool is shipped from South America to Hard at Lake Constance. But after that the wool is not transported more than 1000 km until the finished sweater is at your home - less transport is not possible now. To ensure that the CO2 of the unavoidable farts, whether from the gut or the engine, causes as little damage as possible, we are involved in Myclimates "cause we care" project and thus offset the CO2 emissions.

The sweater scored 35.73 out of 40 points in this discipline. We write Swiss Made on the flag - the sweater is knitted in Switzerland as well as some of the logos are made in Switzerland. There is a deduction because the yarn is spun in the west of the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, there is no wool spinning mill in Switzerland today that works with organic merino wool. We deduct another point because the wool is washed and dyed in Austria. We also have air to the top when it comes to the origin of the wool, which currently comes from South America. Since there is currently a lack of alternative sources for organic merino wool, we are making this compromise.

Economic Sustainability
This sweater is produced using the flat knitting process: The flat knitting machine knits a sweater completely automatically in about 60 minutes. Only the neaten of the threads and the sewing of the logos are done by hand. But knitting machines are expensive investments and the setting up is time-consuming. About 1/3 of the sales price goes to our producer Urs Landis.
Almost 35 CHF/kg is paid at Schoeller Wool for the yarn. A proud price for the organic merino wool, but we accept no compromise on animal welfare. In the end we are left with about 1/4 of the selling price for customer service, wages and all other costs. Thanks to the renunciation of intermediate trade and elaborate marketing, this is just enough.
