Defining organic wool

Organic wool yarn comes from sheep that have not been given any chemicals, such as pesticides. The Organic Wool Factsheet, saved on November 20, 2014, by the Wayback Machine, from the Organic Trade Association (OTA) explains what makes wool organic and what does not.

The "O'Mama Report" from the OTA lists "land management, livestock management, scouring processes, spinning processes, and dyeing processes" as important factors that help decide if a wool product can be called organic.
