WOOL HOPSACK

A heavyweight, 100% wool, hopsack produced in Italy. Hopsack is a technique where the yarns are loosely woven, and is rough in texture. But, due to it’s composition of a 100% wool, the fabric is softer and retains heat a bit better. The fabric can still be used for summer suiting, but also for skirts, jackets and trousers.

Paoletti

Lanificio Paoletti was founded in 1795, in the historic village of Follina, where the skill of wool-making was introduced during the Middle Ages by Cistercian monks’ masters of fulling, a technique to wash and felt woolen cloth. Today, the mill is one of the oldest textile companies worldwide and is run by Paolo and Marco, the tenth generation of the Paoletti family. Paoletti specializes in a vertically integrated process for carded wool production, utilizing carding, spinning, twisting, warping, and weaving machinery.
