SOURCING RESPONSIBLY, SUPPORTING LOCAL FIBRE NETWORKS, USING NATURAL DYES
All of our textiles are designed and handwoven in British Columbia, Canada using natural, responsibly sourced materials. Our wool and alpaca textiles use yarns and roving grown locally and milled in small fibre mills in British Columbia and Alberta. Our linen and cotton yarns are GOTS certified and sourced from smaller mills in the US and across Northern Europe. Cloth Tone recognizes the environmental and cultural implications of using locally grown and processed materials and values the growing network of wool fibre growers and producers in British Columbia.
