On International Zero Waste Day, we gladly share this reel:

What if we told you that one of nature’s most incredible fibres—wool—is being vastly underused?

In Europe, over 50% of wool is currently going to waste. Not because it’s not valuable—wool is biodegradable, renewable, and recyclable—but because we haven’t yet found the right ways to harness its full potential.

From the diversity of sheep breeds to small-scale flocks and varying fibre types, there are challenges. But what if we saw these not as problems, but as opportunities to innovate and reconnect with a local, sustainable resource?

If we used all available European wool, there’d be around 200g per person per year. That’s one sweater every few years—or a single wool rug across two decades. That’s not much—but it’s enough to make a real impact if we stop letting it go to waste.

Support products made with European wool. Honour the craft of our shepherds. Celebrate the fibre that never needed reinventing.

♻️ Wool is no waste. Wool is worth it. 🧶

SPRING/SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION The essence of Lani

SPRING/SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION

The essence of Lanificio Paoletti's new S/S 2026 collection lies in the encounter between tradition and innovation, between nature and craftsmanship. A journey through time and material, to rediscover fabrics inspired by the rural world but refined by the shine and quality of the yarns used, linked to the wise use of natural resources and the importance of our textile tradition.

Each fabric tells a story, a harmony of textures and colors that draw from the historical archives of the wool mill, but are projected with elegance and functionality into the future. A perfect balance between fine raw materials and processes that enhance their timeless quality.

COLOR RANGE

The color chart winds along two different paths, with two main palettes that follow one another and balance the entire collection, creating a game between tradition and freshness.

MATERIALS

Cotton is very present, even in the GOTS certified version, and often with flamed, three-dimensional, material effects.
It is accompanied by linens, viscose, silk blends, impalpable wools perfect for the mid-season, yarns with metallic accents and desaturated lurex inspired by night light.

THEMES

The fabrics of the collection are divided into five main families, easily combinable with each other for stylistic and technical choices that sometimes unite them: Traces, Heritage, Home Sweet Home, Freestyle and Nocturnal.

To discover the themes, visit the collection section of our website:

Classics revisited. A herringbone coat weight, whose pattern is made interesting by the weft done with multicolored yarn, whereas the warp has neutral, sober tones.
A great fabric for any length, whether a big enveloping coat or a bomber or even shorter jacket.

Here are the six panels that accompanied the new Spring/Summer 2026 collection in Asia, adorning the walls of the @intertextileapparel stand in Shanghai.
The mood boards collect the most representative fabrics of the collection, dividing them according to different themes.
Thanks to the recurring use of certain yarns and nuances, fabrics from different groups can be easily combined with each other, making it easy and fun to mix the different themes.
We will soon present the new collection…stay tuned!

In our current Autumn/Winter 2025/26 collection there is space for fun explorations of different techniques applied to textiles, and we have presented a series of such items in the “Lab Family”.
Experimentation done mostly with post-production techniques such as washes that swell the fabric, needle punching, spray-applied stains, irregularly patterned fabrics inspired by colour test fabrics.
Often the starting fabric is a classic design, like herringbone and Prince of Wales, then revisited through contrasting yarn applications or distressed by fake stains. We like the contrast created by irriverent juxtapositions, in a new view of well-known patterns.

The fabric design team uses samples of the in-house-made woollen yarns to plan items for our collections and for custom orders. The twisted samples are kept together by a metal ring and each of them is made by hand with an old machine in the spinning area.
There is a samples ring for each type of yarn, and each sample has a white tag with the yarn’s name written on it.

The central building of the wool mill area, dating

The central building of the wool mill area, dating back to the 1930s, which once housed the carding, warping and weaving departments. It now contains the wool warehouse and part of the yarns, the mending area, shipments, the fabric area (from both current collections and stock) and the historical archive.
Traces of its past are visible from some signs still hanging on the walls.

In the spinning area, this machine has the purpose of gathering and dividing neatly the tubes of the twisting machine into the appropriate containers, calculating the capacity of each. By doing so, they will then be ready to be inserted into the twisting machine and allow the soft thread manually connected to them to become the resistant yarn that the looms require.
Every step counts!

Presentation of the research “Telling the roads

Presentation of the research “Telling the roads of innovation in Veneto” on Friday 17 January at 5.30 pm at Villa Filanda Antonini, Villorba (TV).
For over twenty years, Veneto has been going through a phase of profound restructuring of the production system, which has strong consequences on the social system and partly challenges the industrial districts to find new configurations.
To respond to these needs, the project proposes a path of public engagement that looks to the past, present and future and that tells the roads both as infrastructures and as trajectories of regional development.
The group of proponents – an economic historian, a scholar of district organization and an economic sociologist – will make use of its strong interdisciplinary trait to reconstruct and present to the public the characteristic features of this specific economic, social and geographical context.
The project tells the spatial configuration of the regional economy along 5 paradigmatic roads, each of which is used to reconstruct the production chain associated with a raw material that characterizes the territory.
The five partner companies are characterized by a long history and excellent workmanship appreciated well beyond the regional borders: the glass of the Murano Seguso, the fabrics of the Paoletti wool mill, the grappa of the Poli distillery, the Finblok windows and doors and the Dotto trains. Located along supply routes of raw materials (wool, wood, metals, grapes and sand) these companies have adapted to the evolution of mobility, logistics and infrastructure. Today, thanks to the corporate heritage of the companies involved, it is possible to reconstruct past uses and imagine future scenarios of the territory.
The project makes use of the partnership of a research group from the @iuav_venezia and involves 5 historic companies active along those roads, which will host part of the activities.
Finally, the partnership is completed by the Labour unit of the Yunus Social Business Centre and the aiku centre of @cafoscari, by virtue of their high scientific expertise on the project themes.
