My hand painted Holistic Merino Yarns are made with certified Australian NewMerino® wool. NewMerino® is a certification system for Australian merino wool grown by professional wool producers using sustainable farming systems and holistic animal welfare standards. I’ve chosen to use wool from these farmers because of their respect and dedication to both the environment and to animal welfare.

The minimum care requirements for sheep raised on NewMerino® certified farms are:

• Freedom from thirst and hunger
• Access to adequate shelter
• Freedom to behave naturally
• Freedom from stress, pain and fear
• Prevention or treatment for injury, disease or parasite infestation
• Surgical mulesing is specifically not permitted under the NewMerino® certification program.

I believe that wool from sheep that are humanely treated fits well with Morning Bright Farm’s mission to produce yarn from happy, well cared for animals.
