This yarn is absolutely beautiful! I can tell that it was collected and spun with great care.
At EWE we endeavor to provide you with our fleece and fleece products sustainably, and with minimal environmental impact.
Our sheep and alpacas graze on organic native pastures and are not transported for shearing or to saleyards.
Our hand made products use rainwater from our property, low impact detergents, using local labour, the waste is processed on site, and we have solar power panels and a storage battery to provide as much of our energy use as we can.
We are handling the fleece at all stages, until the order is sent to you.
Our commercial products are made using local suppliers. The fleece is scoured at an accredited scouring plant. The scoured fleece is then carded, combed into tops, and spun into yarn at a small family-owned mills in central Victoria, all within 100k of the sheep.
Ours truly is a locally made, ethical. low miles and sustainable product.
