Pascuali began in Germany in 2008 with a single yarn – a mulesing-free merino. They're now based in Frechen, just outside Cologne, and every yarn they make is 100% natural fibre, from soft everyday wools to some of the rarest fibres in the world.
They skip the middlemen and buy straight from the farms. Each farm is chosen and visited in person – llamas in northern Argentina, alpacas in Peru, cashmere goats in Mongolia, merino sheep in Patagonia – and they look at how the animals live and how the farmers work, not just at the wool.
Many of those farms are too small to pay for organic certification. Rather than insist on it, Pascuali goes to see the conditions for themselves. The yarns are then spun in the country of origin, or in Italy and Portugal.
