The name "Walkloden" (boiled wool) originally came from the manufacturing process. In this process, the wool is "walked," i.e., felted. Our boiled wool consists of 100% virgin wool, making it an absolute natural product.
Wool has fantastic properties; it is breathable, wrinkle-resistant, easy to care for, and skin-friendly.
Mulesing-free wool from England
- No flies, no mulesing
What does mulesing-free mean?
Mulesing refers to a practice in sheep breeding where the sensitive skin in the tail area is removed. This procedure is carried out to prevent infestation with fly maggots, which occur particularly in Australia and New Zealand. Such infections can be fatal for sheep. Essentially, removing the excess skin is a sensible thing to do.
However, the problem is that mulesing is usually performed without anesthesia or painkillers. This fact makes the procedure as painful an alternative to fly infestation.
Although the topic is hotly debated and more and more breeders in Australia and New Zealand are making efforts, the procedure is still regularly used, and it is not clearly communicated which farms actually operate without mulesing.
Since the problematic flies do not occur in England at all, yarns from this region are 100% mulesing-free. This also applies to the fibers of our high-quality boiled wool.
