Sustainable, 30% organic locally sourced wool from Oregon and California. Eco wool is raised according to guidelines that include proper grazing techniques, predator friendliness and healthy veterinary practices. Random testing assures the pasture has had no contact with herbicides or pesticides.
Veggie-matter will vary from bale to bale and is normally cleaned quite thoroughly during processing, however it is impossible to completely remove all veggie-matter without "carbonizing" (acid washing and baking the wool). A soft and resilient batting you can feel safe using to stuff your soft toys and dolls. Figure about 1/2 lb. for a 14" doll; 3/4 lb. for a 16" and up to 1 lb for an 18" doll. In addition, the batting can be wet felted or used for the inner core when needle felting. Order by the pound or half-pound.
