Michell Labs
We have launched 3 initiatives under our Michell Labs Platform, which relates to yarn and colour innovations that truly are making a positive impact on our environment.
Introducing Sustainable Easy Wash Alpaca, which is an anti-shrinkage enzymatic and oxidants treatment that allows the use of Alpaca yarns in new products that require machine washing and -very importantly- it is made in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
The characteristics of the new Sustainable Easy Wash Alpaca yarns are:
- The natural character of the fiber is maintained, and not as other treatments that loses it because the fiber is covered with synthetic material.
- We obtain a cleaner (whiter) fiber compared to the yellowing acquired by other treatments.
- All the treatment is free of chlorine, resins and sulfuric acid, so do not present any kind of contamination to the tributaries.
- Do not contain any type of harmful chemicals.
- It is approved by Oekotex, Blue Sign and Reach.
- Maximum shrinkage is only about 8%.

At Michell we believe that every action counts towards the care of our world. For this reason, we present our new line of Upcycle Yarns, which aims to reduce the waste generated in the different production processes - top making and spinning - applying new ways of using the surplus material. Unlike recycling, upcycling does not destroys materials to recompose them, but gives them a new use without degrading or decomposing them.
