---Chilean organic lambs wool---
This product is handmade and sourced locally from the Maule region of Chile. The wool is 100% lambs wool. Like all our products this wool is ethically and sustainably sourced .
---Organically Coloured---
This wool is organically coloured using a native Chilean technique of the Mapuche tribe. As a result due to natural variation the products you receive may vary slightly from the pictures. If you are planning a larger project we advise ordering slightly more than you expect since in future the colour match may not be exactly the same if you come to repurchase in future.

Intense yellow in color and with an unmistakable smell, this species comes from the orange root of a herbaceous plant belonging to the "Zingiberaceae" family located in India and Indonesia.
---The Natural Dyeing Process---
Special plants, leaves, flowers and roots are collected and then boiled in a traditional native chilean process to extract the natural colours. The colour is then painstakingly painted onto the wool by hand. This painting process takes considerably longer than modern chemical dyes but ensures a truley natural organically coloured product.
