Alpaca products - A more responsible choice

The website Ostavastuullisesti.fi was opened to encourage Finns to change their consumption habits and to make it easier to make responsible purchasing decisions. The panel of experts accepted  entire Ruukin Kehräämö Alpaca Royal  collection to be included on the website.

Ostavastuuliste.fi is a project implemented by the marketing agency Infine, which was published November 23, 2020. Part of the project is product curation and offering responsibly produced products to consumers. For each product or service, the sustainability panel weighs whether it enables a more sustainable life and whether it is a more sustainable choice compared to comparisons for the same product category or need.

The expert panel concluded that the entire Ruukin Kehräämö Alpaca Royal  collection is organic, undyed and chemical-free. The products are designed by Ruukin Kehräämö and manufactured in Finland  or in Lithuania, when they cannot be made in Finland for technical reasons. In design, Ruukin Kehräämö strives to ensure that  clothes have as long a life cycle as possible. They are designed to be timeless, versatile and stylish, and to last a long time in use.

The yarn used in  the products is spun by a small domestic or Peruvian spinning mill. The fiber comes  from Finnish and European accredited alpaca farms  and RAS certified small farms owned by indigenous people of Peru. The sale of the Alpaca Royal quality fiber enables Peruvian indigenous people to have a better livelihood. The fibers are not dyed. We use only alpaca's natural color palette of more than 20 colors and color tones

The knitwear is knitted into shape, so there is no waste. If necessary, an already knitted garment can  be disassembled into yarn and used again. A repair service is also available for our products, and used alpaca knits are accepted as material for reprocessing. We pack in recycled paper materials without plastic.

Ruukin kehräämö has manufactured Alapaca  products since 2012. Expertise in alpaca breeding and yarn spinning can be seen in the fiber quality requirements of the products sold and as a constant consideration of ethical and ecological issues. Along with top quality, transparency throughout the entire production chain is our most important priority.

"Responsibility is becoming an increasingly important part of people's world of values. We are happy to be able to offer luxury quality products to our customers without compromising on responsibility."
