Merino Wool
Merino wool is a very fine wool fibre that results in soft, refined fabrics. The wool is usually farmed in countries such as Australia. New Zealand and South America and can result in a high impact footprint, however due to its versatile nature is used to make versatile, durable and long lasting garments which should have a lower impact per wear over their lifetime as long as they are cared for correctly.
We aim to source all our wool from RWS certified farmers and where this is not possible we source from farms that do not practice mulesing.
Wool is an extremely versatile fibre and has anti-microbial properties requiring less frequent washing and therefore a longer lifespan. We believe that natural fibres such as wool, when farmed responsibly, can be an inherently low impact solution.
