True sustainability starts at the source. Irish wool honors the land it comes from: here’s how.
Irish wool is sourced from sheep raised in Ireland’s own, natural pastures. It’s a 100% untreated, renewable fiber which grows back annually without causing added arm to the animals or surrounding environment
Sustainable grazing helps maintain healthy grasslands on Irish pastures, which then capture and store carbon in the soil. Properly managed wool farms contribute to carbon sequestration, making wool a carbon-negative fiber in many cases.

Wool’s natural strength and resilience increase its longevity as a natural fiber, reducing the need for frequent replacement or disposal. By choosing Irish wool, we keep valuable craftsmanship in use and out of landfills, supporting a circular fashion economy.
