O-Wool™
- starts with the highest quality USDA certified organic merino from family owned and
operated farms in Australia. The sheep are free range and non-mulesed. - is scoured with biodegradable soaps and combed to remove vegetable matter
(conventional wool is “carbonized” where vegetable matter is burned out in an acid bath).
Because the wool is combed, short fibers are removed which dramatically reduces the amount of pilling in
your finished handmade item. - is spun in USA mills that adhere to organic standards. These standards include using vegetable
based spinning oils (as opposed to synthetic), and clearing all conventional wool from machines before
processing organic to prevent contamination. - is dyed using low-impact dyes. These dyes do not contain heavy metals and have a high absorption rate.
Less water is required to rinse out these dyes, and less dye-stuff is left in the waste water produced.
