There’s no denying that wool sweaters keep you warm. The problem is, they can also be itchy and hot, and traditional wool garments have to be carefully washed by hand, reshaped and set out to dry before you can wear them again. Thanks to SocialSpark, I learned that Ramblers Way Farm uses a modern technology to create a smooth, luxurious wool from which they create garments that are light, soft, and can be worn year-round. Ramblers Way fleeces are cleaned using an environmental enzyme wash, not chlorine like most companies. For this reason, Ramblers Way wool clothing is machine washable!
Visit the Ramblers Way website, at www.ramblersway.com, and I bet you find yourself as fascinated as I was. Here’s an American company using an original American breed of sheep that they let graze in pastures, breed, and give birth naturally, using sustainable farming practices including organic fertilizers and careful use of water, marking the sheep with chalk rather than paint, using humane techniques for sorting and sheering, and opening their farm up to a company that will suggest ways they can limit their carbon footprint.
All while doing all of this:
*Using an environmental enzyme wash to clean the fleeces, and filtering and cleaning waste water prior to releasing it back into nature.
*Using minimal packaging made from reclaimed materials that are compostable and recyclable.
* Skipping the traditional print catalog for a website to minimize carbon footprint and consumption.
* Generating their own renewable energy and invest in clean energy alternatives.
*Capturing their manufacturing byproducts and reusing them for other purposes
* Using bio fuels, and efficient trucking, and limit idle times.
* Using natural, plant-based dyes.
I’ll be honest, their garments are expensive. But you are paying for a product fully produced here in the United States using responsible practices, from a family that genuinely cares not only about their sheep but about the impact they have on our environment. Supporting that by purchasing a Ramblers Way garment is making a statement that you know you have to pay more to get a garment you can feel good about wearing.
