Ethically Sourced
The tops are from mulesing free* Merino sheep from ethical farms, all the wool is shorn and not a bi-product of the animal skin industry as the sheep are kept for wool production alone. The alpaca is also shorn, the animals being kept for fibre production only.
Washing
Podgy is made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These luxurious fibers and should be treated carefully by delicately hand washing. Use a neutral, mild detergent that is preferably Woolmark recommended and do not agitate or twist the fibers to retain their gorgeous softness and shape.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of these yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to address this is to spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat naturally before the first wearing, setting the fibers.
* Find out more about mulsing here. Fabricate stands with Mrs. Moon and PETA and is staunchly opposed to the practice. Fabricate sources mulesing-free wool whenever possible.

Feeling Good Yarn | Midnight Blue
Feeling Good – the clue’s in the name. This cosy cutie is no soft touch though, it’s super durable but fluffy at the same time. Better still, it’s a sustainable yarn from the Andean Highlands that gets behind Peru’s remote alpaca communities.
Light as a feather with a fluffy brushed appearance and nice texture, this relaxed yarn works with simple stitches or complex textures and it’s really easy to knit with.Feeling Good Yarn is soft enough to be close to the skin so we recommend roll neck sweaters, snoods and scarves, hats – lightweight pieces that will be very warm.
