What makes Onika Knitwear sustainable?
Each piece is handmade in Salzburg using natural yarns like mohair and alpaca sourced from a leading Italian mill known for its high sustainability standards.
The brand uses mulesing-free yarns and zero-waste production techniques, ensuring every piece is ethical and environmentally conscious.
What is mulesing-free mohair?
Mulesing-free mohair means the goats are not subjected to a painful shearing procedure often used in industrial farming. We only source from certified farms that prioritize animal welfare.
Can I wash mohair?
Yes, you can - but it requires gentle care. Hand wash your mohair garment in cold water using a mild, wool-friendly detergent. Do not wring or twist. Rinse gently and lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
Please also see our complete Care Guide for natural yarns for more detailed instructions and tips.
