Treliske Organic Merino 8PlyOrganic Wool is grown "naturally" without synthetic or harmful chemicals. Organic production is based on positive holistic management systems, which reduce or eliminate the need for most agricultural chemicals and promote healthy soils, air, waterways and responsible animal husbandry practicesCustomers look for organic products because they believe it to be: a: Safer as no pesticides or harmful chemicals are used. b: High Quality c: Better for the environment as no synthetic or harmful chemicals are used on the farm. How does Organic Wool differ? Organic wool yarn has not been treated chemically throughout the entire production, from the farm to the end garment. The greasy wool is scoured(cleaned) in special approved biodegradable cleansing agents before being carded and spun at a Certified Organic Mill. What are the benefits? 1: The natural, un-dyed and un-bleached wool is grown and manufactured without harmful chemicals providing fashionable style and quality, without sacrificing and polluting the environment. 2: Because the skin can "breath" and absorb impurities and residues, the purity and softness of Organic Woolen Knitwear may possible offer some relief to people with allergies and problematic skin disorders. 3: Organic wool promotes long term sustainable farming practices. The purchase of organic promotes clean air, clean water and soils free of toxic chemicals while delivering the purest quality wool to wear next to the skin.
