Our wool is supplied from Australia, from Responsible Wool Standard certified farmers.
The goal of the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is to ensure that wool comes from farms with a progressive approach to managing their land, and from sheep that have been treated humanely and responsibly. Farms participating in the RWS are audited annually by an independent third party certification body. As certified wool from these farms moves through the supply, the Textile Exchange Content Claim Standard is used to provide a chain of custody system to the final product. Each stage of production is certified to this standard by an accredited third party certification body.
The standard aims to ensure that sheep have their five basic freedoms being met at all times:
- Freedom from hunger and thirst
- Freedom from discomfort
- Freedom from pain, injury or disease
- Freedom to express normal behavior
- Freedom from fear and distress
- Mulesing is expressly prohibited
