Mitchell Wool Wash
Mitchell Wool goes through gallons upon gallons of wool wash in their dye kitchen, washing the 4,000 pounds of yarn per year that we produce. Each skein is washed 2-5 times, depending on which plant-based color Cindy is creating. Because they're a closed loop system, that water is returned directly back to their farm land. They only want clean ingredients in our soil.
So they formulated their own wool wash using natural Castille soap, derived from Olives, coconut oil, and lanolin. You can see the natural milky cleansing properties as the plant oils separate between uses. A quick shake blends it back together and it’s ready to use on your silky underthings or newly finished hand-mades. No rinse needed.
They make it right there on the Mitchell family farm.
Tomato 🍅 Vine smells exactly like standing in the garden. A little damp soil under your toes, warm sun on your shoulders where your hat doesn’t cover and a sweating glass of iced sun tea. Tomato worms and weeding not included. It’s gardening without the fuss.
