Environmental Statement

Wool

All our wool  tops are produced from unbleached scoured wools. The wool scouring is subject to  environmental controls which ensure that no toxic substances are used or that any environmental harm takes place. The dyes are all non toxic and no harmful substances are used in the process.  

Dyes are manufactured by many companies using different names. If you require further information about dyes (not dyed products) have a look at the HSE web site this gives the details on handling the dyestuffs not the finished dyed fibre.

 Questions on toxicity has been asked many times of late. Like all finished textiles the end result is not toxic. Care should be taken with small children to avoid them eating the fibres, the only probable hazard. 

Business

We try to buy in as little packaging as possible. This reduces our environmental impact and means costs are not passed onto the consumer. Because of this boxes are often re-used for dispatching orders.

We try to keep all paperwork to a minimum in the office , though this is proving to be hard. Rather than throw used sheets away it now gets shredded and used for packaging, or sometimes acts as bedding for our chickens!
