Support Sustainable Natural Materials

 

We started nooan socks because we fell in love with these amazing natural materials which are unique to New Zealand: possum fiber + super fine merino.

 

Laboratory research around the world proves that they have many outstanding benefits for our wellbeing:

• 35% warmer than cashmere
• Extremely soft so that they are not irritating and allergic, even for baby and seniors
• 3-10 times more breathable than cotton and nylon
• Don’t get stinky; easy to dry and clean, perfect for outdoors
• And more

 

But what makes us even more committed to introducing this amazing New Zealand product to the world is their sustainability features.  We only use ZQ certified super fine merino. ZQ is a leading NZ organization in the area of sustainable farming. You can read more about them by Googling “discover ZQ”.

 

 

All our possum fibers are from the Department of Conservation which spends a lot of money and effort to trap and control possum populations in our national parks to preserve our native bush and wildlife.

 

There are immense amounts of environmental effort put into making the yarn and the final products, from color dyes to waste water treatments to recycling waste yarns and more.

 

There are generations of hard-work and commitment by many people and organizations to produce these beautiful natural products and why doesn’t everyone in the world know about it?!  22 billion pairs of socks are used every year and why are the majority of them still made with nylon and unsustainable cotton, while these functional natural materials are largely unknown?

 

Let’s change that!  Let’s support Sustainable Natural Materials!
