We build trust through quality assurance
We rigorously test wool products to ensure they meet the Woolmark Specifications. Before a wool product can be Woolmark-certified, we run numerous tests to ensure it performs to the standard you demand:
TEST 1
FIBRE CONTENT
We assess the fibre content of the wool product so you can be assured of the ingredients of the product you are buying.
Test 2
COLOURFASTNESS TO LIGHT
The product, whether a sweater, shoe or curtain, is exposed to the harshest light – for up to 10 hours – to assure its colours are lasting.
Test 3
DURABILITY
We subject the wool product to extreme pressures – we push, pull and stretch it to its physical limits – to measure its durability, pilling resistence and construction strength.
Test 4
LAUNDRY TESTING
We wash the wool product in hard, unforgiving machines to ensure no shrinkage and no loss of shape so that you can be confident that your wool product is easy to care for.
Test 5
COLOURFASTNESS TO LIQUID
And we take this wool product and test it, intensely, against the very liquids it would normally meet over its lifetime whther that be coffee, oil stains, alcohol and make-up.
