Twice a year we set up collection points where farmers deliver their freshly shorn wool. We buy all of it – whatever the quality, whatever the breed. Because we know how to use every type of wool. Completely, without waste.
The collection points are at around 15 locations across Switzerland and open for a few days every spring and autumn. The region's sheep farmers deliver their freshly shorn wool in feed sacks, big bags or other containers. On site the wool is weighed, sorted by quality and colour and pressed into bales for transport.
