Ashford Corriedale sliver is a 100% New Zealand product with wool from pasture-fed sheep. Many of the farmers have farmed the same land for generations and take great pride in the quality of their wool and the high standard of animal husbandry. The sheep are well cared for and are not mulesed.
During processing the wool is washed with an environmentally-friendly, biodegradable detergent. The wool is then dried and dyed. The dyes comply with the strict EU regulations and can be made certified under the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, a standard ensuring they are ecologically-safe products.
