Included in the Verde Collection, Woodland is made of wool and nettles. Nettles are similar to flax and hemp but more environmentally friendly. They grow in any soil condition, are drought and weed resistant, and require minimal use of chemicals compared to those necessary to grow cotton. Nettle fibers are stronger yet softer, finer and more elastic than hemp.
Woodland's combination of animal and plant fibers take on dyes with different levels of saturation, creating beautifully heathered colorways.
