Yes, all Byhappyme's wool products in the range are mulesing free. For Byhappyme, prioritising animal welfare is a matter of course.

But what exactly is mulesing?

When a wool product is mulesing free, it refers to a method in sheep farming, especially in the production of merino wool, where sheep are not subjected to the mulesing procedure. Mulesing is a surgical procedure where skin around the sheep's tail is removed to prevent fly larvae infestation. While it can prevent serious infections, it is also painful for the animals.

Choosing mulesing-free wool means prioritising animal welfare in a way that avoids this painful procedure. Instead, alternative, animal-friendly methods are used to protect the sheep from infection. 

When you buy mulesing-free merino wool, you're supporting breeders who take pride in caring for their animals. Products made from mulesing-free merino wool are not only ethical, but they can also give you, the consumer, a sense of satisfaction and pride in contributing to a more sustainable and responsible production of natural materials.
