Part of my sustainable journey is to find clothing that is natural, non-synthetic, and chemical-free and Ramblers Way produces such clothing.
Their clothing is sustainable in every way from production to product and what they produce are strong lasting fine micron wools that can be worn both summer and winter.
They even use enzymes to prevent shrinkage and allow the wool to stand up to tough washing.
I feel such such sustainable productions as Ramblers Way are the way for forward for our planet.
They acknowledge in their definition of sustainability the interconnectedness of all components of their work and process, and their products are grown and sourced domestically and with care and consideration for the planet, and future generations.
The workshops I have been attending at my community garden have also been stressing these values and how with peak oil we all need to change our ways of living and producing.
Ramblers way and their Rambouillet wool is produced using sustainable farming practices in their own sheep farms in Maine and on ranches in Colorado, Montana, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah.
The design and creation of their quality wool garments is in the Carolinas and New England, by people whose families have worked in these industries for generations and understand both quality and sustainability.
These methods of production are integral in the renewal and healing of our planet and our way of living.
It is what I am trying in my own small way to do in creating my own sustainable garden and being part of a community garden.
We can't go on producing in ways that destroy our planets and our lives .
Sustainable living and production is about healing ourselves and our planet.
Ramblers Way also works with Clean Air-Cool Planet to help improve their sustainable practice from shearing to distribution.
They continue to aspire to become more Carbon Neutral.
It is always exciting to find companies who show us the way forward and produce new, exciting and quality products in the process.

Totally jealous of your choices in clothing. I always have a battle here in South Africa with our market flooded with suspect, cheap, Chinese imports. Therefore buy whatever Fair Trade organic cotton T-shirts and denims etc I manage to find.
Wonderful to find clothing produced in a totally sustainable way.
