Muuto Cushion Grey Textile. Dimensions: 50 × 50 cm. This cushion is made
from baby llama wool, hand-knitted in Bolivia. The knitted texture grants it
softness and sophistication. The cushion has a wide tighter-knitted strip across
it which gives it a graphical and contemporary dimension. The Layer cushion
combines ethics and aesthetics! This cushion is from Aiayu: this Danish knit
brand combines beauty, comfort and ecology. The high-quality baby llama wool
comes from Bolivia. It is worked on by forty local craftspeople in the areas it
is collected as part of an eco-responsible approach. The wool is removed, sorted
and knitted by hand in Bolivia. The workshops in which these products are made
are WRAP certified. This programme monitors and certifies compliance with
standards independently for manufacturing under legal, human and ethical
conditions. These workshops also clean 100% of their water in post production by
reusing 75% of it. Baby llama wool is among the most sturdy, naturally
stretchable fibres that holds its shape (4 times more resistant than
sheep's wool). It is also extremely silky, soft, waterproof and
hypoallergenic.It has exceptional insulating properties. The microscopic air
pockets in the fibre act like a real thermal regulator! These pockets allow the
fibre to breathe on warm days and trap body heat in cold weather. So it keeps
you nice and warm while stopping you getting too hot. Suitable for all
temperatures and all weathers, baby llama wool is appropriate whatever the
season. The „baby“ llama category does not describe the age of the animal
that the wool is taken from, rather it is the category of the fibre's fineness:
the high-quality wool comes from an adult animal with a very fine fleece (and so
very soft).
