Product Description
Our hypoallergenic woolly down is perfect for adding more oomph to your pillows or for use in your own sewing adventures. Our one of a kind felting process insures that the wool is itch free and machine washable. Wool naturally resists dust mites, mold and mildew. It also quickly absorbs and releases moisture and thus, does not allow the damp conditions that dust-mites and mold thrive on. Other natural fibers, such as down and cotton, do not readily release moisture. Wool is also naturally fire resistant, so no PCB chemicals.
Small bag is 12 x 14 inches stuffed full. May contain natural black, white or brown fleece.
HOW OUR WOOLY DOWN IS MADE
Every year the sheep are shorn (haircuts) in the spring. The wool is then washed in mild dish soap here on the farm. Then the wool is cut and lightly felted to make the fluffy wool down balls. The fluffy wool down is then stuffed into our 4 different types of pillows or you can buy bags of it for your own homemade pillows or craft projects.
This Wooly “Down” pillow can be shaped like a down pillow for perfect comfort. The secret is the tiny wool fluff balls. The tiny wool fluff balls are similar to down feathers in the sense that you can move the filling around to any shape you desire. The wool pillow is machine washable, if you follow special washing instructions.
3 great reasons to buy a wooly down for your pillows and projects
1. Comfort
No sweating: breathable wool wicks moisture away from you
Shapeable: you can shape the pillow to fit your body
Hypoallergenic: the wool resists mold & mildews and repels dust mites
Increase REM sleep: studies show REM sleep can be increased by 20% and lowers resting heart rate
2. Safety
No fire-retardants: Polybrominated diphenyl eithers or PBDE are the most used fire retardant in pillows. PBDEs are linked to cancer, reproductive problems and impaired fetal brain development.
No dust mite feces to breathe in: A down or cotton pillow can have over 2 pounds of dust mite feces in it. YUCK!
No petrochemicals to breathe: Polyester and polyurethane foam pillows have the highest amount of petrochemicals in them. No synthetic materials off gassing.
3. Responsible eco friendly
Renewable: Since the wool grows back every year, the sheep need a haircut annually to keep them healthy and happy
Compostable: the wool is compostable
Support small farms: hand crafted in Colorado on a small family farm
Organically grown sheep: loved and hugged daily
Sustainable Wool: the flock is managed in a humane, chemical-free and environmentally thoughtful manner.
Rest easy knowing that you have a safe chemical free pillow fluff that is eco friendly and gives you all the support and comfort that you want.
