Availability and packaging
Our wool tops are available in packages of 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg, by color. Each package has a natural tolerance of ±3% and contains wool in continuous tape. The different packages are designed for both those who need small quantities and those who need large quantities and/or want to save money.
For non-ECE shipments, the packages (with the exception of the 5 and 10 kg packages) are vacuum-packed, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the wool returns to its original volume, fluffy and without any loss of quality.

Our merino wool is mulesing-free, meaning it comes from farms that do not practice mulesing, a surgical procedure used in some parts of the world to prevent parasitic infestations in sheep. The choice to use wool from supply chains that exclude this practice reflects our commitment to animal welfare and more responsible farm management.
The dyes used for our products meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX standard, which guarantees the control and limitation of substances potentially harmful to human health and the environment.
Fiber dyeing is carried out in our dyehouse in Italy, in compliance with current European regulations on chemicals and environmental safety, including the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006), which governs the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances.
Operating within the European Union also entails compliance with additional provisions on environmental protection and textile product safety, such as the CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008), relating to the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures. This regulatory framework ensures that dyeing processes are conducted according to high standards of safety, traceability and environmental responsibility, offering a reliable product for both the end user and the environment.
Our extra fine merino wool tops are perfect for l´needle felting, forwater felting, for spinning, the hand weaving, for arm and giant knitting.

CAUTION: All of our colors generally exhibit high lightfastness and fastness to washing. However, fluorescent colors (80's collection), in addition to having a lower lightfastness, may also suffer significant color loss in the presence of alkaline or particularly aggressive soaps, as well as with prolonged processing or washing. This phenomenon can occur, to varying degrees, even with dark and particularly bright colors. For materials dyed with these shades, we always recommend that a preliminary processing and washing test be carried out on a small sample before making the final design. This precaution is essential, especially when dyed materials are combined with unbleached or light-colored fibers.
Finally, to best preserve the colors, it is recommended that artifacts not be dried in direct sunlight, but in a shady place.
