Often, solutions for ethical and sustainable are not used, even when they are the most obvious one. Fashion and knitwear designer Ann Cathrin Sch\u00f6nrock<\/strong> and textile engineer Franziska Uhl<\/strong> have searched the market in vain for sustainable and at the same time high-quality yarns which led the duo to get creative themselves: They founded the company Yarnsustain<\/a> to revolutionise the fashion and textile industry with yarns and fabrics made from dog hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Back in 2017, Ann Cathrin Sch\u00f6nrock, who is a dog owner herself, started working with her dog\u2019s wool \u2013 because why shouldn\u2019t this material, which is actually considered waste, also be used for clothing or to fill home textiles? Together with her co-founder Franziska Uhl, she developed the high-quality Chiengora\u00ae, a yarn made from the undercoat of long-haired dogs. Support by funds from the German government, the organisation was able to collect more than two tonnes of undercoat this year alone and process it into yarn.<\/p>\n

Behind the company are the NGO Saving Lost Resources e.V., Yarnsustain and the brand company modus intarsia. In this triad, the founders contribute to animal welfare, produce high-quality yarns and sell garments made from dog hair \u2013 to further promote consumer acceptance and establish garments made from dog hair on the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
