Our Yarns
Each product is only as good as the materials used to make it. We work hard to source the softest and most durable yarns in a way that is both socially and environmentally responsible. Each yarn fiber has unique qualities and characteristics but the one characteristic that is the same for all DINADI yarns is that they are made of 100% natural mono-fibres that are free of acrylics, polyamides, or any other form of plastic. This ensures that every product can be naturally composted at the end of it’s life cycle.
ALPACA
All of our alpaca products are produced in 100% all natural and undyed alpaca wool Alpaca wool is soft, durable and silky. Alpaca fibres are hollow which helps maintain warmth and create an elasticity that helps hold garment shape.
We source our alpaca wool directly from Peru. Alpacas are gentle on the environment and require minimal resources to raise making alpaca a sustainable choice. We’ve chosen to only work with natural colours so our alpaca wool contains no dyes or chemicals.
MERINO
We use 100% extra fine merino wool in our merino products. We love the sustainable and natural functionality of merino wool. It is naturally insulating, breathable, wicking, dirt resistant and durable and at the same time 100% natural, renewable, biodegradable and recyclable. Therefore, merino wool is one of the best wool options available.
Our merino wool is sourced from merino sheep from South Africa. We are careful to ensure that our yarns are animal cruelty free and can guarantee that our merino is always mulesing free. Our merino is Oeko-Tex 100 certified to be free of harmful chemicals.
CASHMERE
Cashmere is one of the most exclusive and luxurious fibres available. It is renown as one of the softest fibres on the planet and its combination of softness and light weight create a fibre that is both beautiful and functional.
Cashmere fibres come from the cashmere goat. Beneath the coarse hair of the cashmere goat lies an undercoat of superfine fibres that are combed out by hand once a year before being processed into yarn. Our cashmere originates from goats in the Gobi Desert of mongolia.
YAK
Our yak products are made from 100% yak down. Yak down is a rare and luxurious fiber that is similar in softness and feel to cashmere. It is superior in warmth to many sheep wool fibers while similar in durability. Yak down is combed once a year from the yak’s winter coat and praised to be one of the most sustainable fibers available.
We partner with a social enterprise on the Tibetan Plateau that works closely with local yak herders to gather the fibers. In partnering with them we can ensure high traceability throughout our supply and production chain. Our yak is natural and undyed and comes in two colors, Oat Brown and Dark Brown.
