Community Clothing ‘Proper Jumpers’
Community Clothing creates fantastic quality jumpers that do not pill or lose their shape. The brand works with the very best quality lambswool, always sourced from the same farms, because lots of things, from climate to diet, affect the quality of the wool. The yarn comes from one mill that has been spinning in Denby Dale in Yorkshire for over 200 years and Community Clothing knit the men’s and women’s jumpers in Hawick in Scotland, in two mills which make the best jumpers in the world, for some of the best known luxury brands on the planet and also Community Clothing.
Community Clothing jumpers are warm, comfortable, super durable and are available in an array of colours, including classic earthy shades camel, truffle, mink and navy as well as some punchy new shades including flame red and rose pink. In addition to the jumpers the brand has a new range of knitted accessories: beanies, scarves and gloves, in a range of colours and patterns, all made in Scotland too.
About Community Clothing Wool
Wool has been used to make clothes since the stone age. Wool is a brilliant material as it’s renewable; it has the second smallest carbon footprint (after linen) of any textile fibre and it is naturally biodegradable, at the end of its life it can be put back in the soil where it will decompose releasing valuable nutrients back into the soil. Wool fibres are naturally abrasion resistant, making woollen garments very durable, and its natural elasticity, along with its ability to absorb moisture, makes it extremely comfortable to wear.
