  • corriedale wool

    The Corriedale was developed in New Zealand and Australia during the late 1800's from crossing Lincoln or Leicester rams with Merino females. The breed is now distributed worldwide, making up the greatest population of all sheep in South America and thrives throughout Asia, North America and South Africa. It is a warm, medium-fine wool, and is an excellent choice for knitting, crochet, spinning and felting.

  • 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.
