Our organic Merino wool is
sourced from a New Zealand company with
generations of experience, the yarn is
exceptionally soft and perfect for babies.It
has been grown and processed in accordance
with strict organic guidelines, and there is
NO mulesing of the sheep. Merino yarn can
hold up to 30% of it's weight in water and
still not feel damp, and it is
self-extinguishing when set alight, making
one of the safest fibres for children's
clothing, making them a perfect baby gift.
We handpaint some of the organic merino
using acid dyes and white vinegar, we do not
use organic dyes as they are not robustly
colourfast, and the mordants can be
extremely harmful. Therefore our coloured
merino can no longer be called organic,
however we feel that is is still superior to
standard merino yarn. Our natural cream
coloured garments are 100% organic.

Organic merino must be
handwashed, and it does tend to "pill"
(little balls on the fabric where it has
worn) this is due to the fact that it has
not been chemically treated. The solutions
are simple: use a woolwash (Eucalan,
Kookaburra) to clean the fabric without
having to rinse numerous times, and use a
lint shaver (available in department stores)
to remove pilling. |
