Re: the lack of demand for wool thanks to propaganda causing more waste; my parents live part-time in a small village in Ireland that is about half populated by sheep farmers. ALL those farmers have had to pivot away from wool production to mutton production, because they can't survive off selling the wool anymore. So now they are killing exponentially more sheep than they were killing before, since. You know. You don't have to kill the sheep to harvest the wool!

God, this is incredibly sad

all that wool that could become, not just winter/cold-weather fabric, but summer-weight wool that's excellent for temperature regulation!

and of course, the irony of killing more sheep because P*TA told you the non-lethal sheep product was evil

🐑🐑🐑 Mi abuelo fue pastor cuando niño y su mamá, mi bisabuela, tejía cobijas en telar de cintura. Hace unas semanas conseguí una falda de lana escocesa en una tienda de segunda mano y un poco antes compré un tomicotón bordado de Hueyapan, el tejido de lana superfino en telar de cintura. Tengo suéteres de lana y morrales de lana y un chaleco de lana que tiene más de 10 años. Amo la lana 🐑🐑🐑
