I was very disappointed to discover that Schoffel's knitware is sourced in China. Garments are not made in the UK but in asia. They charge about £100 for the Chunky cable crew jumper. Bear in mind this jumper is only 50% wool and 50% acrylic. Acrylic is carcinogenic and leaches microplastics into waterways. Ends up being consumed by marine life and eaten by humans. There's talks of banning it. You can buy a jumper, made in the UK which uses 100% British wool (and certified by British Wool which exists to protect the consumer, uphold a certain quality, grade of wool and to protect the sheep from mismanagement, physical abuse and to ensure animal welfare is met) for the same price. The same cannot be said for wool sourced from other continents and this is an unfortunate and very sad issue which upsets many legitimate farmers. I'd highly recommend buyers look elsewhere at more environmentally friendly alternatives. Imagine buying something sourced and made right here in the UK with no need to fly the wool around the world. So that would mean supporting our British businesses, using wool that is sourced from British sheep (so therefore adheres to DEFRA and no chance of mulesing occuring). Your wallet, animal welfare and the environment will thank you for it! Please do the right thing.
