Popular Reknitz™ sweaters are back with some new features! First introduced last Fall, these eco doggie sweaters are back in new colors, two new larger sizes and have a new harness access hole. Heavier reclaimed cotton yarn provides more stretch to easily slide on and off over doggie heads and legs. These simple, stylish dog sweaters are still good for the environment! Made in the USA from reclaimed cotton fibers, each sweater saves water and does not require fertilizers, insecticides, dyes...or even farmland!
Our cotton yarn is derived from pre-consumer textile table remnants, that are cleaned and separated into raw fibers. The cotton fibers are then blended with 24% new acrylic fibres and spun into yarn for our sweaters. What's more is that the fibers are not re-colored, as the careful mixing of textile cuttings creates the eye-catching palette we use in Reknitz™.
Made specifically for small to medium breeds! Ensure your little pooch is warm for years to come . Available in 5 sizes, simply measure your dog from their collar to their tail to determine the recommended size for your four legged friend. Easy cleaning, machine washable cold/cold and dry on delicate.
You've been told over and over to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. With Reclaimed Cotton you get the chance to Reduce, Reduce, Reduce, Reduce, Reuse, Reuse... all at once!
REDUCE:
• Waste
• Fertilizers
• Water
• Insecticides
REUSE:
• Cotton fibers
• Dye
Reclaimed Cotton reduces a lot - from waste, to chemicals and fertilizers, to the need for additional water. When a cotton T-shirt is made, there is a significant amount of extra cotton left over. In the past these remnant pieces of cotton fabric were incinerated or simply sent to landfills. Through a process of collecting the cotton, cleaning and separating it into raw fibers, we are able to make a new premium product without having to use any additional water, fertilizers, insecticides, or even farmland.
FACT: According to idealbite.com, cotton crops account for as much as 25% the world's insecticides. Combined with the large amounts of water cotton growers need to use every year, that's a lot of reducing!
Since Reclaimed Cotton fibers already exist, we are reusing a resource our society has already devoted time and energy toward. These cotton fibers were originally manufactured into sheets of fabric to make human clothing. These pre-consumer textile remnants are top quality, but simply cut too small to make another article of clothing. The Cotton is cleaned and separated into raw fibers by color, and then blended with 24% new acrylic fibers and spun into yarn. What's more is that the fibers are not re-dyed, but the careful mixing of the colored fibers allows us to reuse the existing dye on the fibers and creates the eye-catching color palette.
Reclaim. Reuse. Reduce. Rejoice.
West Paw Design. Made with pride in the USA.
