Wool neutralizes odors and often airing is enough to keep wool clothes fresh

Our wool products have not been treated with moth-proofing chemicals, so please protect the product from moths and other insects. Store silk wool products in a tight plastic bag when they are not in regular use. How to protect woollen clothes from pests

Wash by hand or by using the 30 Celsius degree hand or wool wash program using a biodegradable wool washing detergent

We recommend the Sonett wool and silk washing liquid for washing and Sonett gall soap for stain removal

Smooth into shape when wet

Wool slightly shrinks in the first wash and this has been taken into consideration in the sizing

Wool becomes slightly softer in the first wash which adds to comfort

Our certified and mulesing-free organic merino wool comes from Argentina and Uruguay

Certificate sets standards for good animal care in nutrition, protection and health care etc.

The sheep are grazing free year around excluding the annual shearing procedure and local authorities train and monitor professional shearers

The merino wool used is up to seven time finer than the wool from Finnish sheep and therefore feels pleasant against skin

Wool’s excellent insulation qualities are due to wool’s wavy structure

Pure wool breaths and keeps you warm even when moist

Wool is a fire-resistant material

At the end of its lifecycle 100% wool returns back to nature

Our organic wool is knitted in Finland

Different tones are created using safe reactive dyes without chrome dyes or heavy metal salts

The products are made and packed by Ruskovilla’s own professionals in Artjärvi Finland

The products are not finished with repellents harmful to humans or nature

The surplus wool swathes are a part of our ecological production: white wool is carded for duvet and pillow filling and colourful wool gets used in other manufacturing companies for making oil absorbent rugs and parquet underlays.

All our products are manufactured using 100% renewable energy, and we utilize renewable geothermal heat in keeping our manufacturing, storage and production facilities warm

After working over 30 year with children in daycare centers in Finland I have very good experiences from Ruskovilla's wool layers and accessories. They feel good on skin, allow free movement and are easy put on and take off. They work well for both those who ran around and climbed and those who stayed put by the sandpit. I wish that every child would have the chance to wear Ruskovilla and enjoy the outdoors regardless of the weather.
