anyway make sure the wool you buy is 100% "shorn wool" rather than "pulled wool" which comes off slaughtered sheep.
hypocrisy disclaimer, i wear wool |
it never says, but buying from small farms stops any chance of buying wool from dead animal. and honestly, i thought that was more for clothing industry/weaving/textiles rather than handknitting yarn. handknitting yarn is highly specialised.
