Holy Lamb Organics: COMPANY PROFILE

Our Mission: We are a natural bedding company dedicated to hand-crafting the finest quality natural bedding possible. Our products are made from organic cotton fabrics and pure wool batting. We aim to provide the highest level of customers service and quality of product available. Our company uses sustainable and ecological practices in every stage of our production from material acquisition, manufacturing, processing, marketing, by-products. We are proud to be a zero waste company by reusing, recycling, or composting all of our by-products. For example, all of our wool and cotton fabric scraps are composted using a low-tech vermiculture system. That’s a fancy way for saying we use worms to help turn it into fine compost for the garden!

Benefits of Organic Cotton: Did you know that approximately 1.25 lbs. of agricultural chemicals are used in the growing of cotton in a single set of queen size sheets?

Cotton crops are the second largest user of agricultural pesticides in the world (coffee is first). These pesticides are harmful to everyone. Four of the top 9 pesticides used on cotton (cyanide, dicofol, naled, and propargite) are classified by the EPA as cancer-causing chemicals.

You can make a difference: In 1997, large apparel companies purchased 2.15 million pounds of organic cotton, which eliminated the use of an estimated 43,000 pounds of pesticides and 485,190 pounds of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer (Organic Fiber Council). GO ORGANIC!

Organic Certification: Every fiber of cotton is produced in accordance with the standards set forth by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM).Individual organizations handle the actual certification: IMO, a Swiss-based organization, certifies the Indian-grown cotton; SKAL, a Dutch certifier, must approve the Ugandan and Turkish cotton. The cotton is then shipped to the mill in Punjab India where it is spun into yarn and woven into fabric. This facility is ISO 9002 certified, which speaks well to both the quality of production and its labor and environmental practices.

Fabric Finish: The only finish applied to our organic cotton fabric is cornstarch, as compared to the harsh chemicals used in finishing conventional fabric.

Benefits of Wool: Natural wool is a traditional fill, used in bedding throughout the ages. Our grandmothers knew the many benefits that wool provides.

o Wool resists bacteria.

o Wool is fire resistant.

o Wool is cool in the summer yet warm in the winter.

o Unlike down bedding which shifts over time (ie. bare spots in a comforter), wool stays in place.

o With proper care your woolen bedding can last for decades.

o Unlike bedding that uses plucked down feathers, a sheep grows a coat of wool annually and is not harmed during sheering.

o Wool surpasses synthetic fill in terms of quality and durability.

o Wool is a sustainable product helping small farmers make a living.

Wool Batting: Our comforters and pillows use pure and natural wool batting. Wool comes from sheep. They grow a coat of wool each year, which is sheered (like a haircut) in the spring. Our wool comes from a local woolen mill in the Pacific Northwest where the long fibers are carded using old turn of the century machines. We are proud to support American sheep farmers.
