O-Wool™ starts with the highest quality USDA certified organic merino from family owned and operated farms in Australia. The sheep and free range and non-mulesed.

O-Wool™ 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 out wool is combed, short fibers are removed which dramatically reduces the amount of pilling in your finished handmade item. Our scourer/combed is GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) accredited.

O-Wool™ 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.

O-Wool™ is dyed using low-impact dyed. 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 what waste water is produced.
