Whatever your brand of cosy, these more responsible knitwear brands are here to help for this season and many to come.

Our favourite ‘Good’ and ‘Great’ knitwear brands

For many people, knitwear is a seasonal essential, but did you know that a lot of it is made from damaging polyester or acrylic, which are both plastic-based? When shopping for more sustainable sweaters, scarves, sweatpants, and hats, opt for recycled wool or organic cotton instead.

Looking after your knitwear is also important to keeping it in good condition for years to come. That means folding it—instead of storing it on a hanger—to prevent stretching; seek out gentle fabric detergents that are friendly to natural fibres; and after washing, reshape the garment while it’s wet, then dry it flat and away from a strong heat source to make sure it returns to its original appearance. It’ll also pay to invest in a pilling comb to remove any bobbles that naturally appear on knitwear over time. We recommend Artknit Studios’ one.

With that, then, here are 20 more sustainable brands rated “Good” and “Great” against our methodology making knitwear you should know about.

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

The Australian Government is starting consultation on sustainable investment product labelling, which is designed to give investors more confidence to put more capital to work in sustainable products.

The federal government said the release of this paper is a key step in implementing its Sustainable Finance Roadmap — designed to help mobilise the capital required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower, modernising the financial markets and maximising the economic opportunities from net zero.

This consultation paper seeks views from investors, companies and the broader community on a framework for sustainable investment product labels.

These labels are designed to help investors and consumers identify, compare and make informed decisions about sustainable investment products to understand what ‘sustainable’, ‘green’ or similar words mean when they’re applied to financial products.

The government said a more robust and clear product-labelling framework will help investors and consumers invest in sustainable products with confidence and help tackle greenwashing.

This phase of consultation will run from 18 July to 29 August and help the government refine its design principles for the framework.

The consultation paper is available on the Treasury consultation hub.
