Wool’s journey from a grazing sheep to one of Ruskovilla’s wool shirts is a long one. The certification of wool as organic begins with the soil on which the sheep graze, continues on to the well-being of the sheep, and then moves on to the processing, washing, spinning, dyeing and knitting, etc., of the wool. Everything comes down to the well-being of the pasture and the sheep. Attention is paid to the fertility of the soil, crop rotation, the nutrition and health of the sheep, and pest control. Synthetic pesticides, hormones, vaccinations, and genetic modification are prohibited. Good livestock practice and breed-specific treatment are a given. The principle behind organic production is to produce products whose manufacturing methods are not harmful to the environment or to the health and well-being of people, plants, and animals. Nothing beats wool when it comes to comfort, warmth, elasticity, or versatility. And when you source your wool organically from Ruskovilla, you can be sure it’s the best in the world. Properties the softest wool of all feels good on the skin pleasantly flexible warms comfortably breathes and does not make you sweat absorbs moisture without feeling wet keeps you warm even when moist neutralizes body odor airing helps to remove odors is fireproof The explanation for the unique properties of wool is in its structure and its chemical composition. Thanks to its curly nature the wool fiber binds plenty of air. This air layer equalizes the temperature between the skin and the environment. The good feeling is increased by the ability of the wool to absorb moisture, up to 30 % of its weight, as well as the ability to clean itself. Wool absorbs and neutralizes the skin secretions, so these do not form a breeding ground for bacteria. Wool clothes do not need to be washed often, as just airing helps them to freshen up and become clean. Wool is suitable for almost everyone, as the wool itself does not contain ingredients that cause allergies. Ruskovilla Kids' 2-Ply 100% Organic Merino Wool Mittens
