The KlōTHING Difference: Our Ethical & Sustainable New Zealand Manufacturing Process

New Zealand-made apparel.

Step 1: Ethical Sourcing & Traceable New Zealand Wool

The foundation of every KlōTHING garment is ethically sourced New Zealand wool. We carefully select partner farms across the country that uphold the highest standards of animal welfare and responsible farming. Our procurement process is designed for full traceability, ensuring every fibre meets stringent legal and ethical requirements. We prioritize suppliers who demonstrate best practice in the procurement and processing of all animal fibres, guaranteeing that the raw material for your clothing is as pure and sustainable as the landscapes it comes from.

Step 2: Spinning Innovation & REACH Compliant Yarn

To transform this premium wool into luxurious, wearable fabric, we partner with Woolyarns, a leader in textile innovation. Our collaboration ensures our fibres are expertly spun into high-quality, durable yarns using state-of-the-art woolen spinning techniques. Crucially, all our yarn manufacturing adheres to human environmental production standards, meaning they are free from harmful chemical substances. This commitment ensures we comply with rigorous European Union REACH standards, providing you with garments that are safe, non-toxic, and globally responsible.

Step 3: Craftsmanship & Quality Control in New Zealand

All KlōT͟HiNG products are proudly manufactured at our dedicated Knitting Mill in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Here, we leverage a highly skilled and experienced team that embodies precision, craftsmanship, and a commitment to perfection. Every garment is meticulously knitted, assembled, and finished on-site. To guarantee lasting quality for our global customers, all products undergo a strict 3-Point Quality Check before leaving the mill, ensuring zero-defect apparel enters the marketplace. This local control guarantees the superior standard that defines the KlōTHING name.

Step 4: Your Finished, Authentic NZ Garment

The result is a piece of authentic, luxurious knitwear—a high-quality garment that is designed and made in New Zealand. From the moment the wool is sourced to the final inspection, the KlōTHING process is focused on delivering excellence, durability, and a clean conscience. Your finished product is immediately ready for dispatch, carrying with it the genuine quality and unique story of New Zealand manufacturing.
