　　January 12, 2008 — Boulder, CO – Teko, a performance sock company specializing in environmentally-sustainable materials and manufacturing processes, announces that they will be using certified organic merino wool in their fall 2008 socks.

　　The high-performance, organic merino wool comes from a group of 20 farms in Argentina, all of which have been farming wool organically for many years in accordance with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and/or IVN (International Association Natural Textile Industry) guidelines. In fact, Teko’s supplier for organic wool is currently the only combing company in the world, which is certified and accredited with GOTS.

　　No mulesing, pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, vaccinations or chemical drenches are used on these farms. Water conservation methods are employed, the sheep are grazed on large pastures and no motorized vehicles are utilized.

　　Teko’s organic wool still bears the EcoMerino trademark which indiCATes that it is processed using the most eco-friendly treatments available in the industry, including chlorine-free, AOX shrink-resistant treatment. Teko’s organic wool is extremely soft, durable, itch-free and machine washable/dryable.

　　By using sustainably-farmed organic wool, Teko continues to choose balance between people, animals, and the planet instead of maximum profit margins. To learn more about Teko organic wool go to www.tekosocks.com
