The Fonty Spinning Mill produces high-quality yarns from animal fleeces and plant fibers of natural origin.
Merino, alpaca, yak, camel, mohair, angora, silk, cashmere, linen, cotton, bamboo—the raw materials are carefully selected. The fleeces come from local or regional farms, but more generally from France, Europe, Central Asia, or wool-producing countries in the Southern Hemisphere. These materials are transformed into carded or combed yarn, roving, or ribbon.
The raw fibers that constitute the raw material are washed, sorted, beaten, combed, prepared, mixed, carded, spun, twisted, assembled, unwound and put into skeins, degreased, dyed, softened, rinsed, dried and steamed, weighed and prepared into cones, skeins, bobbins or balls.
The colours are developed within the dyeing workshop, which is itself attached to an ecological water treatment unit using the filtration properties of reed rhizomes.
Fonty's environmental concerns
The Fonty spinning mill incorporates its products and actions into a sustainable development approach that is eco-sensitive, eco-responsible, and respectful of the environment in the broadest sense: natural materials, recovery and production of renewable energies, short loops, reduction of inputs, elimination of pollutants, ecological water treatment, selective sorting, and waste recovery.
At Mistricotine, we choose Fonty spinning mills, we choose high-quality craftsmanship
Wishing to offer high-quality designs, sensitive to production quality, innovation, the human element, and the company's ecological, environmental, and social commitment, I chose the beautiful merino wool from the Fonty mill: a natural, noble, extra-fine, soft, and silky fiber. The entire collection is thus knitted in the merino baby range.
This "four-season" wool can be worn all year round. Thermoregulating, it retains heat when it's cold and keeps you cool when it's hot.
