Teko to use merino for autumn sock line
Colorado-based performance sock maker Teko is to use organic merino wool in its autumn sock lines. The wool is said to be soft, durable, itch-free and machine washable/dryable.
The wool will be sourced from a group of 20 farms in Argentina, all of which have been farming wool in accordance with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and/or IVN (International Association Natural Textile Industry) guidelines for many years. No mulesing, pesticides, fertilisers, herbicides, vaccinations or chemical drenches are used on these farms and water conservation methods are used.
