along with crossbreds making the best of two wools.
Are you done with synthetics? Do you share our commitment to be mindful of the environment? If yes, then our naturally raised wool is a good fit for you.
Wool is an all-season fiber. It has clothed paupers and kings for thousands of years.
"Wool is the only fiber crafted for the purpose of meeting any purpose." AmericanWool.org
Our wool is popular with spinners, felters, crocheters, and knitters. Try it once, and you will join the company of fiber snobs who never go back to synthetics.
Q: Do you use animal fat in your soap?
A: Yes. Lard and tallow, both byproducts of meat processing, have been used in soap since ancient times. Many of the best soaps are made with animal fat.
Q: Do you use fragrance oils in your soap?
A: Never. Only pure grade, high quality essential oils with skin-keeper properties.
Q: Does your wool itch?
A: Depends on which sheep made it. CVM is next to skin soft, Leicester Longwool not so much, though some of us wear it next to the skin. Scottish Blackface is a coarse fiber good for outerwear, rugs, and tapestries.
