mulesing free

Mulesing is a controversial farming practice used, predominantly in Australia, to prevent the parasidic infection flystrike. While mulesing prevents infection, it is a very painful procedure for the animal to endure, and more humane alternatives exist. This practice is banned in many areas of the world. If a yarn is marked as mulesing free, that means that no animals were treated this way during the production of the yarn.

peruvian highland wool

This breed of sheep is a cross of Corriedale and Merino. These sheep produce a wool that combines softness with functionality: while not as soft as pure merino, the wool is still suitable for next-to-skin garments, with greater resilience for daily wear and use.
