Jonathan Kringle Cashmere, Yarns and Our Sustainability Philosophy

Jonathan Kringle Principles & Facts

• Cashmere, Wool and Yak yarns, are all biodegradable and we are proud to help support all methods that help protect this natural and precious resource.(So look out for those moths)
• Our knitting and processing is virtually zero-waste in regards to the fact that knitting is looping one singular spool/cone/hank of yarn.
• We look for yarn mills and yarn spinners to comply with all ethical codes and help people along the supply chain.
• Selected dye houses and yarn mills have ensured us that their dye process is environmentally friendly and is subject to serious government standards for waste water and by products.
• Fibers are acquired with all humane means, we believe that it is only fair to treat the person who is lending you their coat and a means of protection from the elements.
• Cashmere is a quality product and can last a very long time and will keep its shape and feel as long as taken care of properly.
• We are working on an aggressive take-back program and re-cycle/re-purpose our quality sweaters which we believe can last many generations.
• Please see our WE LOOK section on our website for some of the issues we care about and look for from our suppliers and vendors
