We’re thrilled to introduce Ikigai's latest yarn, which employs an innovative process known as “Easy Wash.” The Alpaca/Wool Easy Wash treatment incorporates enzymatic and oxidants processes to eliminate shrinkage, making Alpaca yarns suitable for machine-washable products. Importantly, this treatment is implemented with sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
Impact

- The treatment is entirely chlorine, resin, and sulfuric acid-free, ensuring no contamination to waterways.
- Free from harmful chemicals.
- Approved by Oekotex, Blue Sign, and Reach standards for environmental and social responsibility.
