About

Palouse, the fabric, is 100% wool felt, made from virgin Uruguayan wool from free range sheep which were humanely raised: the sheep are certified non-mulesed. 

Because Palouse is wool, with lanolin, it resists spills. Rated at 80,000 Martindale, it can be used anyplace with aplomb. Palouse is a sturdy, and handsome, workhorse. It also drapes beautifully and makes to-die-for coats, suits, purses, totes and blankets.


Eco Facts

Palouse, the fabric, is 100% wool felt, made from virgin Uruguayan wool from free range sheep which were humanely raised: the sheep are certified non-mulesed. Mulesing is a cruel and extremely painful practice, which is the cheapest method to protect sheep from flystrike. Learn more about mulesing here.


The Fabric Name

The Palouse region was once an extensive prairie in the northwest region of the United States, composed of mid-length perennial grasses such as Bluebunch wheatgrass and Idaho fescue. Today virtually all of the Palouse prairie is planted in agricultural crops. The native prairie is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the United States, and only a little over one percent of the original prairie still exists.

Wir haben die Arbeit für Sie erledigt

Im Laufe der Jahre haben Patty und Leigh Anne jede Menge Zeit damit verbracht, ethische und nachhaltige Produktion zu erforschen – wie sie funktioniert und welche Auswirkungen sie auf uns (und alle Lebewesen) und unseren Planeten hat. Sie haben es sogar in ihr Leitbild aufgenommen, das Ziel, „die Art und Weise zu ändern, wie Textilien hergestellt werden“ – ein ziemliches Unterfangen für so ein aufstrebendes kleines Unternehmen, oder?
