Grange Home Climate Beneficial ™ Wool Shearlings
We are excited to launch
Grange Home Climate Beneficial ™ Wool Shearlings,
developed in partnership with a valued Fibershed producer.
These shearlings are from Perendale sheep who were raised on landscapes that are equipped with Carbon Farm Plans. Honoring the regenerative ag practices that the plans lay out allows the soil to sequester atmospheric carbon back underground where it aids in creating water-holding properties which we know is essential. Soil is life and healthy soil is essential; and these practices work to
mitigate the impacts of climate change. It’s hard NOT to support that.
We are also really proud to have managed the end-to-end process of creating the shearlings within a small footprint in Northern California. Our goal is to continue to work as close to ‘home’ between the ranch, tanner and our studio. We employ a tanner who manages a chromium-free tanning process—good for the tanners and our planet.
Perendale sheep are valued for their long and superior fleece and you will understand that clearly when you see how lovely, rich and luxurious these shearlings are—varied in color, staple length and crimp or smooth texture, the diversity of wool is extraordinary.
The natural wool (or what you might think of as black or chocolate) is more rare, as most sheep have been raised to be of the ivory color which allows for more flexibility within the wool production process.
We are thrilled to offer these rarified hides.
A rich, variety of texture, shape and color—all natural, eco-tanned Climate Beneficial ™ Wool shearlings.
Lesser Known Fact—black sheep, sometimes called Marker Sheep, are often held by ranchers to help account for the quantity of sheep on landscapes. One black sheep to every 100 ivory sheep allows a rancher to quickly identify how many sheep are within an area.
We will be launching a collection of twelve pieces in the coming weeks; feel free to email us with questions. And in the meantime, enjoy our first launch—
the Ivory, Crimped & Varigated Shearling—100% Climate Beneficial ™ Wool.
We are thrilled to launch an amazingly rich, soft, plush and gorgeous wool shearling collection featuring Climate Beneficial ™ Wool from Northern California landscapes.
Climate Beneficial ™ is a verification process established by the non-profit, Fibershed, which ensures that carbon farming practices are employed on the landscapes where these Perendale sheep were raised. Carbon Farm Plans provide land steward practices that work to mitigate the impacts of climate change --sequestering atmospheric carbon and creating water-holding capacities for greater soil health.
Each shearling is as unique as the animal from which it came. This shearling is special for its variegated wool pattern with a staple length of 4” and then dropping to a much shorter length on both sides of the hide. The slightly crimped wool delivers a wonderful tactile experience as you run your fingers through the highs and lows of the fiber. Responsive to temperatures, wool has the unique ability to cool in hotter weather and warm on colder days. An idyllic throw for your bed, sofa, Vintage Army Cot or Sling Chair—as we use them.
We work with a tanner in California’s Central Valley to process the hides in an eco-friendly manner, avoiding the use of Chromium which is toxic to the land and the tanners; and keeps our carbon footprint as small as possible.
