Ekta Helsinki

Finland

Ekta Helsinki is a Finnish knitwear brand with knits and hats for women, men and children. Every piece is made from 100 percent Finnish sheep wool and named after a street in Helsinki. The brand says the wool is soft, rich in lanolin and does not itch. The founders, Mikaela and Nicolina, created a yarn that lets Finnish wool be knitted by machine. That wool would otherwise often go to waste. It is sheared, spun and knitted within about 500 km in Finland, and it is left undyed in its natural colours. The products are free of artificial colouring, chemicals and plastic. They carry the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and are made in small batches, and the brand's shipping partners are carbon neutral. Good On You rates Ekta Helsinki Good overall. It scores 4 out of 5 for planet and people and 3 for animals. The rating credits limited production runs, recyclable packaging and local production. It also notes that the brand does not publish a full breakdown of its materials and has given no evidence of living wages or of its non-mulesed wool claim.

The Ethical Silk Company

Ireland
