On The Farm
WOOLganic yarns are spun from certified organic or biodynamic Australian Merino fleece wool. No synthetic inputs are used on the livestock- no dips, drenches, back lining or antibiotics. However, if an animal is unwell, it must be removed from the herd and treated appropriately.
We are proud to say our yarns are spun from wool which comes from properties where mulesing is not practised.
Under organic and biodynamic standards each grazing property must be audited and assessed to establish the best management practices for the region, and a stock rate that will have the least impact on the environment is calculated. We only use certified organic or biodynamic wool.
The Processing
The wool is scoured or cleaned using only hot water and detergent.
WOOLganic yarns are spun on machinery that is flushed before spinning to be sure there is no fiber contamination from non-organic yarn. There are no synthetic lubricants used on the machinery.
The Dyeing
WOOLganic yarns are dyed with ecologically low impact acid dyes. They are metal free.

good for the sheep, good for the earth, good for you
