Textile Term: Organic Wool
Organic wool, a variant of wool, is sourced through farming techniques that prioritize the health and well-being of sheep, the environment, and the people involved in the process. This eco-friendly production involves the total exclusion of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and GMOs.
In organic wool production, the sheep are raised on organic pastures and fed organic feed. Their health is regulated using natural and holistic methods, which makes the wool not only free from harsh chemicals and dyes but also benefits the environment by minimizing the environmental impact of wastewater.
Organic wool is known for its softness, warmth, and durability, and it is often used in high-quality and sustainable clothing and home textiles. It is also considered to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to conventionally produced wool, as it promotes biodiversity, soil health, and reduced water consumption. Additionally, the fair labor practices associated with organic wool production ensure that workers are treated fairly and paid a living wage.
