Behind the Scenes
Take a look behind the scenes of our Italian wool mill and see the steps taken to turn a raw material into the yarn that goes into our gorgeous Geelong jumpers. Originally sourced from Merino sheep in Geelong, Australia, only a tiny percentage of Merino is fine enough to be classified as Geelong.
Choosing Our Suppliers
We hold our suppliers to the same standards we hold ourselves. Lanecardate chooses to use only high quality natural fibers, rigorously selected directly from farms and farms in accordance with the standards of fineness, length and sustainability expected of the finest materials. Every wool bale is meticulously checked one by one by expert eyes and hands: only the best raw materials are allowed to enter the manufacturing process.
