The fermentation process: We clean raw wool using only lukewarm water and time. Over a few weeks, natural bacteria gently dissolve dirt and grease, leaving the wool soft and clean – no chemicals, no heat.

Canada and the U.S. mark 150th anniversary of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Banff National Park
Canada and the United States are commemorating the 150th anniversary of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation for Banff National Park, a significant milestone that highlights the region's ecological and cultural importance. Established in 1979, the reserve represents a collaborative effort between the two nations to protect the area's biodiversity, natural landscapes, and Indigenous heritage. The celebration includes events and initiatives aimed at raising awareness about conservation efforts and the role of the park in global environmental protection. Banff National Park, located in Alberta, Canada, is renowned for its alpine ecosystems, glaciers, and wildlife, making it a vital site for scientific research and sustainable tourism. The anniversary underscores the long-term commitment of both countries to preserving this unique natural heritage for future generations.
