The Product Journey of the Kenna Sweater
RWS Certified Farm
Australia
Our Merino Wool comes from a farm which is RWS certified. The Responsible Wool Standard ensures the wool comes from farms that have a progressive approach to managing their land, practice holistic respect for the welfare of the sheep and respect the Five Freedoms of animal welfare. Mulesing is strictly prohibited.
Merinos are regarded as having some of the finest and softest wool of any sheep.
After shaving the sheep, the wool is washed, dried and combed into wool tops.
