Labos nakties (Good night)
IDEA: "This began with my mother's experience. At the age of seniors, the parents left the bustle of the city and created a farm in the countryside. Mom was interested in trying something new so she began to raise sheep. I used my mother's knitted woolen products and I enjoyed it without taking thought about why a store-bought wool is not so warm. My children have used their grandmother‘s homemade wool comforters for a couple of years. Finally, I realized that all this is the woolly wishes of the countryside I would love to share with others." - shop owner Daina.
PRODUCTS: We produce naturally processed wool-filled duvets, pillows, and linen covers marketed under the name "Labos Nakties" ("Good Night"). The wool we use for our bedding is locally farmed, untreated by chemicals, and hand-washed only using natural soap, thus preserving its lanolin and ensuring that the wool retains that warm feel and texture, so essential to the finished product.
HOW WE MAKE IT: "Good Night" products are handmade, starting from sheep farming to the final product. Sheep shearing at the farm takes place over a few days and is an interesting sight. Also of interest is 'wool carding', a mechanical process that disentangles, cleans, and intermixes fibers to produce a continuous web or sliver suitable for subsequent processing. Finally, wool webs lie on a luxury cotton cloth, and professional seamstresses' hands turn it into lovely bedding.
ECO-FRIENDLY, CHEMICALS FREE: "Labos nakties" production is very close to Mother Nature. Not only the wool we use is natural itself but its processing is also. Commercially processed wool is washed using chemicals. We hand-wash wool using natural soap. The chosen method of processing is much heavier but it ensures high quality and is environment friendly. "Labos Nakties" products use wool untreated by chemicals, thus retaining all its best features. We preserve natural lanolin, a fatty substance that helps to preserve wool's softness and waviness. Wool is not only the least vulnerable but also pleasant to cuddle up with.
