Why Choose Mulesing-Free Merino Wool?
Mulesing is a painful procedure performed on sheep to prevent them from dying from infections caused by parasites. This procedure is often carried out without anesthesia, which can cause sheep to experience several days of persistent pain and suffering.
Fortunately, alternative methods have been developed to prevent parasite-caused infections, methods that do not cause the same suffering for the sheep. However, these methods are more expensive for sheep farmers to implement, which makes Mulesing-free merino wool more expensive, and this is reflected in the prices of the final products. If a product is Mulesing-free, this is usually indicated in the product information.
Unique colours inspire sewing
Our merino wool yarn comes from Germany and is dyed in Italy. From there, it travels to Kalajoki, Finland, where it is woven into finished fabrics. From Kalajoki, the fabrics are sent to Nivala to be washed and cut. Then the finished fabrics are delivered to Paapii in Kokkola.
