To kick off the launch, we’re starting with what we do best—and have done for nearly 15 years—making the perfect gloves, now available in a range of beautiful new colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"711\" data-start=\"464\"\u003eThese gloves are next-level soft and incredibly comfortable. While they may not be as rugged as our super-warm (still very warm!) Ragg Wool gloves, they offer an unmatched hand feel—luxuriously smooth and bordering on cashmere-like softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e40% 22-micron virgin fiber sourced from Australia and 60% recycled PET that is\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/recoverfiber.com\/newsroom\/what-is-grs\"\u003eGSR certified\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand made 100% from post-consumer plastic bottles.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis yarn is dyed in North Carolina.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"50\" data-end=\"467\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"50\" data-end=\"106\"\u003eWhat’s the difference between upcycled and recycled?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"106\" data-end=\"109\"\u003eWe make a distinction because the amount of energy involved can vary drastically. Upcycling generally uses less, since it takes an existing material and pushes it “up” into another use with minimal processing. For example, our upcycled yarn is made from discarded clothing scraps that can be mechanically processed back into yarn without dyes or chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"725\"\u003eRecycling, on the other hand, involves breaking a material down and remanufacturing it into something completely new—like turning plastic bottles into polyester yarn. This process often requires significant energy and can leave a larger carbon footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"832\"\u003eBoth upcycling and recycling play important roles in sustainability, each with their own pros and cons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSpot wash with dish soap or Woolite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKnit in New Jersey.
