This is why New Zealand is amongst the leading producers in the wool industry. The wool is whiter than other wools, and the significant color depth allows further colors to be dyed like clean pastel shades and deeper blacks. New Zealand wool is 100% natural and renewable with each sheep growing a new fleece every year. Regular shearing is one of the most important factors for maintaining the health of the sheep. Without it, sheep can develop a nasty and debilitating infection called flystrike.  At least once per year, the growers bring their whole herd of sheep to the wool shed to be shorn. The rest of the year the sheep are free to roam the beautiful landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom my time spent living in little New Zealand, I've come to see that wool growers are devoted to maintaining a stress-free life for their animals and ensuring the ecosystem is protected. Our growers also ensure stress-free handling of sheep on the farm with the use of specially trained working dogs. These working dogs are part of the farming family and are happiest gently shifting precious herds to their next pasture or to the woolshed. In addition, Many New Zealand wool growers have joined the New Zealand Farm Assurance Programme which guarantees the highest level of animal welfare on the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew Zealand wool is biodegradable, recyclable, and has essential nutrients beneficial for plant life. A naturally resilient material, New Zealand wool bounces back, reducing the flattening and wear of your custom rug.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ex1\"\u003eThe surface of an NZ wool rug acts as a natural air filter and purifier, trapping dust particles and pollen which may be vacuumed up thus enabling low maintenance. This incredible material is capable of resisting extreme temperatures up to 700 degrees Celsius and even self-extinguish once the source of fire is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ex1\"\u003eThe soft yet durable fibers absorb unwanted noise to create a calm, comfortable setting. New Zealand wool regulates its temperature, ensuring warm winters and cool summers. This is interesting as we often associate wool with warmth. I used to run triathlons and I always wore wool workout clothing (icebreaker). The moisture-wicking of the wool layers kept me dry and cool running\/biking in 30-degree weather. I even wore it during my swimming segment as it dries so quickly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ex1\"\u003eNew Zealand wool fibers are also softer due to the unique environment and genetics of the sheep and the color depth is far greater than other pure wool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"All Things EFFY","offers":[{"title":"Lime","offer_id":41891807527011,"sku":"DT167","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Aquamarine","offer_id":41891807592547,"sku":"DT300","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sky Blue","offer_id":41891807658083,"sku":"DT279","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Teal","offer_id":41891808051299,"sku":"DT212","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mustard","offer_id":41891808116835,"sku":"DT431","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stitch Bird Yellow","offer_id":41891808182371,"sku":"DT424","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lemon","offer_id":41891808313443,"sku":"DT449","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":41891808837731,"sku":"DT312","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Burnt Orange","offer_id":41891808903267,"sku":"DT301","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":41891809165411,"sku":"DT485","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Magenta","offer_id":41891809230947,"sku":"DT464","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mauve","offer_id":41891809296483,"sku":"DT590","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Indigo","offer_id":41891809362019,"sku":"DT585","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Grey","offer_id":41891809755235,"sku":"DT069","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Slate Grey","offer_id":41891809820771,"sku":"DT152","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/5927\/6899\/files\/wool_mauve_c_1_-Photoroom_fc6885a6-4a62-4b09-abf0-f33370714501.png?v=1717579233"},{"product_id":"pure-acrylic-yarn-on-500gms-cones","title":"100% Acrylic Rug Yarn - Clearance","description":"\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 100% Acrylic Rug Yarn is not your typical acrylic yarn for knitting.
