$949.00 USD| Organics Supplier Practices | Common Wool Industry Practices We Appose | |
| Carbonizing | Never | Wool fibers are dipped in strong acids to dissolve residual vegetable matter. |
| Sheep Dipping | Never | Sheep are bathed in toxic chemical bath with insecticides and fungicides |
| Bleaching | Natural unbleached wool | In order to get the purest whites and brightest colors, most wool fibers are bleached and dyed. |
| Mulesing | Never | Patches of skin off the sheep (to discourage infection and flies from laying eggs in the folds) |
| Sustainability | Farmers are paid premium for wool when fowling organic farming practices. Sheep stay happy, safe and healthy. | Farmer use cost effective methods to meet a lower price point. But resulting in a lot of negatives as stated above. |
*Some Wool suppliers also meet these same practices. But have not opted not to be certified due to costs or can't be certified do to the pastures not being organic.
