The prohibition of using hormonal treatments, which are harmful both to animals and humans
The use of organic farming areas and responsible pasture management (without the use of pesticides, for example)
Cleaning the wool according to strict principles before processing (without chemical products, for example)
The ban on the practice of mulesing*

These wool threads are used for both traditional embroidery techniques, that is to say:

• Cross stitch: for graphic patterns and solid color areas
• Punch needle

only for new trends such as: 

• Weaving
• Enhancement "wool on wool"
• Darning

*Mulesing Mulesing is a sheep farming technique used for Merino sheep aimed at preventing myiasis (a disease that affects Merinos characterized by the presence of fly larvae under the skin). Farmers practice mulesing to increase the productivity of their flock. This practice is completely contrary to animal welfare. It involves mutilating the skin around the sheep's tail, a barbaric and traumatic practice for the animal.
