Organic wool comes from sheep that are raised according to special rules. Like any product that seeks an organic label, the production of organic wool must follow strict rules for several years with very exhaustive controls, and the sheep that produce organic wool must also meet several requirements, so that the wool obtained from them can have this prized label of excellent quality and sustainability.
Sheep must be allowed to be outdoors during the day: it is not acceptable for animals to be confined in pens all day.
They must be kept in semi-freedom so they can walk, exercise and feel less stressed. The animals must be treated with the utmost respect since their physical condition will affect the quality of the wool.
The care of the sheep is a very important point in obtaining organic wool and their feeding is also part of this care. On the one hand, the animals must be able to graze peacefully in the fields, but on the other hand, the feed that is given to the sheep must also come from organic farming.
Finally, another of the requirements for the wool to have an organic label is the total prohibition under the rules of the use of chemical products, either in food or in the dyeing and processing of the wool, which must be avoided at all times.
