would have liked a warning that it would be upsetting

[TooTickyDoves]

Sorry - didn't think of that. But if people didn't look because it might be upsetting, they wouldn't find out what goes on and would keep buying cruelly-produced wool.

[expatinscotland]

I didn't find it upsetting .

I just didn't click on links I thought would be.

I'm not a knitter, but interesting link!

[gigglinggoblin]

i nd to avoid stuff about animal cruelty at the best of times, am currently pg and pretty much anything is upsetting atm!

[TooTickyDoves]

Sorry gigglinggoblin.

[gigglinggoblin]

am possibly being a bit pathetic

[expatinscotland]

If you clicked on the links at the side, maybe, but the site itself wasn't at all graphic.

Informative, though.

[Saturn74]

The page that the link took me to was not upsetting IMO.
Interesting info, TooTicky - will pass it on to the avid knitters in the family.

can buy british wool direct from producers - this site talks about australian sheep

[TooTickyDoves]

Absolutely, but a lot of Australian wool is exported.

ah good on you tick. was about to email you saying to stick the link up.

yes, its bloody upsetting.

upsetting things happen and would rather know about them, tbh!

have been through stash and have naff all idea where most of the wool comes from. I do have a fair bit of merino though...

I've seen some links talking about making ethical PETA-approved wool, but not found it on UK sites, I don't think.
