OUR WOOL
LOVE From farm to foot
Nanny Glerups started with wool from the family’s own Gotland sheep. Over the years glerups perfected the wool mix by using wool from New Zealand sheep that roam and graze free, developing superior quality coats. We walk with our compassionate herders every step along the entire path and carefully follow your glerups from sheep to feet.
THE BENEFITS OFWOOL
Pure wool fibres naturally regulate body heat, expelling excess heat and moisture. Wool keeps the sheep’s bare skin just the right temperature and it will do the same for your bare skin. Our wool mix, perfected over time, is soft, durable, and provides warm, no-itch comfort.
WHERE IS OUR WOOL FROM?
We have a close partnership with ZQ in New Zealand. Working with ZQ ensures that we receive high-quality, ethically- sourced wool from farmers who prioritize sustainability and animal welfare. Their wool meets our strict standards for environmental care, animal welfare, and fibre quality, guaranteeing that every fibre is traceable and responsibly produced.
ZQ farmers provide sheep with natural grazing conditions, ensuring they live healthy, stress-free lives. Additionally, ZQ wool is known for its softness, durability and breathability, making it an excellent choice for our slippers.
NO TO MULESING
By working with ZQ farmers we ensure that they do not use the mulesing method. Mulesing is a controversial practice where strips of skin are removed from a sheep’s rear to prevent flystrike, a condition caused by parasitic flies. While this method is used in some wool industries, ZQ farmers take a more humane and proactive approach to animal care. Instead of mulesing, they use natural breeding selection, ensuring that their sheep have wrinkle-free skin, which significantly reduces the risk of flystrike. They also implement high animal welfare standards, including regular health checks, proper shearing schedules, and providing clean, spacious environments for their sheep to thrive.
