Okay, i like to wear a lot of beanies. The thing is, a lot of the beanies I wear are made of wool. Is wool something that I shouldn't wear? I don't know how they treat sheep at factory farms, so I'm a bit worried. sad

So, anyone feel like shedding some light on the subject for me? biggrin I'd be very happy.

Sheep on factory farms are treated just as poorly as other species, hence, why you should avoid purchasing wool. Oscillator's link makes that point quite well.



If you have old wool beanies, then I see no fault with wearing them. However, when buying new ones you should see if you can find any made of synthetic yarn. Most of the yarns used today are synthetic anyways, you just need to check the labels.
