WHY
ORGANIC WOOL?
"Organic wool yarn," as
Treliske a pioneer in the field says, "has not been
chemically treated at all throughout the entire production
process, from the farm to the [finished] product." Organic
wool is free of pesticides, formaldehyde, polyester, foams,
dioxins and other additives used in conventional manufacturing
practices. These 'other' things are, of course, bad for
you. Organic wool is good, and it is better for babies.
The sheep are grazed on
pesticide free land and are never sprayed or dipped as
is commonly practiced in conventional wool production systems.
They are bred to be resistant to parasites and graze on
organically certified pastures to promote a healthy immune
system. The sheep are laso happy to keep the wool and skin
near their rear end which is commomly removed in a practice
known as mulesling to prevent fly-strike.
After shearing the sheep's
wool is 'greasy'. So it is washed with a bio-friendly cleanser,
carded and finally spun at a mill with organic certification.
Wool is a natural fiber
and a renewable resource that is non-allergenic. Organic
wool can be used extensively by those who normally suffer
from chemical sensitivity when in contact with conventional
grow wool. The number of chemicals used in the textile
industry is upward of 8,000. Sometimes those
who ‘react’ to
wool are actually displaying a reaction to the harsh scouring
agents, dyes and chemicals used in conventional wool production
and not the wool itself.
Why
organic wool rather than synthetic fleece?
- Wool is mother nature's wonder fiber.
- Wool is the perfect insulator. It
is incredibly warm in winter and cool in the summer
as it has the ability to breathe with the skin. Wool
is the most hydrophilic of all fibers and has the ability
to wick away excess moisture. It can actually absorb
up to 30% of its weight in water without feeling clammy
or wet to touch. It can then release this moisture
into the atmosphere to keep the wearer feeling warm
and dry. This ensures the layer between [the wool]
and your baby’s skin remains dry and rash free.
This is unlike synthetic fleece, which is warm but
does not breathe easily.
- Wool is safer to wear having natural
fire-retardant properties. It can resist flame without
the chemical treatment involved in fireproofing. Synthetic
fleece is oil based, ignites easily, burns fiercely
and melts. If your synthetic fleece is fire proofed,
then you have the fire proofing chemicals next to your
skin.
- Wool is a renewable resource that
re-grows on the sheep after shearing. It is biodegradable
and kinder to the environment than oil-based synthetics,
which contribute to global pollution.
- Wool is long lasting and durable.
- Wool is remarkably elastic. Wool
fibers can be stretched and still bounce back to their
original shape. This makes it incredibly comfortable
to wear, allowing for growth and movement.
