Scabal announces the release of a world-beating fabric: ‘Noble Fleece’. The first in a hopefully long series of fabrics that are going to be based on a new focus in the fibre selection process for Merino wool. The Woolmark Company collaborates with wool-growers, weavers, fabric makers and designer. It champions Merino wool’s properties as a natural, renewable biodegradable fibre, as well as conducting research and development and global marketing programmes. Scabal believe that wool, and the traditional ways of processing it, have a bright future thanks to both the sartorial and ethical zeitgeists. “It’s an organically grown material, which is produced in a very ecological way, very respectful of the environment,” says Gregor Thissen, Executive Chairman Scabal. “The farmers’ passion and dedication to the product, the animals, the environment really hits a chord with us. The most important thing for me is that we stay honest and dedicated to our quality aspirations, and continue to be at the top of the quality ladder.” Gregor Thissen is equally enthusiastic about the two entities’ on-going synergy in pursuit of excellence. “The Woolmark Company’s senior management have been so instrumental in helping us to take our dreams – when it comes to the Noble Fleece and other cloths - to reality,” as Thissen puts it. “Their profound knowledge of all sides of the wool market, from grower to consumer - from sheep to shop - has supported the process of selecting our wool growing partners and, more specifically, that of working on wool characteristics that are valuable for our very demanding final customers.” For more information refer to https://www.scabal.com and http://www.merino.com
