Leadership

The farm to fashion approach is the core of the Nuna philosophy. Yarn design begins with hand spun yarn prototypes and gauge knit-downs using farm produced fibers.

Animal breed, fiber qualities and drape determine our knit fabrics and garment designs. From the grasses that nourish the animal fleeces they forever share, Nuna knits supports the growing desire to buy local and buy natural.
