Benefits
of Organic Wool
Wool lasts longer, and is more resistant to environmental degradation than most any other natural fiber on the planet. Even when soaking in water, wool retains its warmth and resilience (springiness). Over time, organic wool batting will compress, but it does so less than other natural fibers, including feathers and down. Organic bedding with wool fill can be freshened significantly, simply with monthly exposure to abundant fresh air, and brief (less than 30 minutes') natural sunlight. Wool is completely recyclable. Organic wool fill in natural beddings can be re-carded and restored by the manufacturer. Or, wool batting can be reworked into environmentally safe, new products. This is why there are strict mattress label laws aimed at keeping used wool out of new products. Don't understand that? Neither do we. Purchasing organic cotton bedding and organic wool products helps support small farmers Wool and milk from free-grazing sheep, treated ethically throughout their long lives, represents a traditional small-scale industry that once thrived in North America. Today, many small organic farmers are struggling to re-ignite this sustainable industry to create a clean, healthy, natural wool that is produced without stress to animals or the environment, and provide these farmers with modest income. Unfortunately, many small farms are driven out of business by unregulated corporate buyouts. Visit the Organic Consumers Association for the latest news. |
