At KlōT͟HiNG, we don’t just sell apparel; we engineer it. Our vertically integrated supply chain ensures that every piece of New Zealand-made knitwear meets the world’s most rigorous standards for ethics, safety, and durability.

From the high-country stations to our precision knitting mill, here is how we define the future of sustainable manufacturing.

Step 1: Ethical Sourcing & Traceable New Zealand Wool

The foundation of every KlōT͟HiNG garment is ethically sourced New Zealand wool. We partner exclusively with high-country stations that uphold the highest standards of animal welfare and regenerative farming.

  • Full Traceability: Our procurement process is designed for 100% transparency. We prioritize suppliers who exceed legal requirements in fiber processing, ensuring the raw materials are as pristine as the New Zealand landscapes they come from.
  • Ecological Integrity: By choosing KlōT͟HiNG, you are supporting a supply chain that values soil health and biodiversity.

Step 2: Spinning Innovation & REACH Compliant Yarn

To transform raw wool into luxury textiles, we collaborate with Woolyarns, a global leader in textile innovation. This partnership ensures our fibers are spun using state-of-the-art woolen spinning techniques for maximum durability and pilling resistance.

  • Chemical Safety: All yarn manufacturing adheres to strict human-environmental production standards.
  • Global Standards: Our yarns are EU REACH Compliant, meaning they are guaranteed free from harmful substances, non-toxic, and safe for sensitive skin. We meet the same safety benchmarks required by the most elite European fashion houses.

Step 3: Artisan Craftsmanship in Palmerston North

Every KlōT͟HiNG garment is proudly manufactured at our specialized Knitting Mill in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Here, heritage craftsmanship meets modern technology.

  • Skilled Workforce: Our team of master knitters and technicians embodies precision and a commitment to perfection.
  • The 3-Point Quality Check: Before any garment leaves the mill, it undergoes a rigorous zero-defect inspection. We check for stitch precision, seam strength, and fiber consistency to ensure only the highest-quality apparel enters the marketplace.

Step 4: Your Authentic, NZ-Made Masterpiece

The result is a piece of authentic, luxury knitwear that carries the story of New Zealand’s craft. From the first fiber to the final dispatch, the KlōT͟HiNG process focuses on:

  • Durability: Built for the rugged New Zealand environment.
  • Softness: Engineered for daily, next-to-skin comfort.
  • Conscience: 100% ethically made and environmentally responsible.

Your finished product is a testament to what is possible when nature and technology work in harmony. This is KlōT͟HiNG.
