The Truth About Mulesing and Why We Choose Mulesing-Free Wool

Mulesing is a painful practice once common in sheep farming. At KlōTHING Ltd, we proudly use only mulesing-free wool—because fashion shouldn’t hurt.

What Is Mulesing?

Mulesing involves removing strips of skin from a sheep’s rear to prevent flystrike. While it was once a common method, it’s now widely criticised for:

  • Causing pain and stress
  • Lacking proper anaesthesia
  • Being a band-aid, not a solution

Our Ethical Commitment

We partner only with farms that:

  • Are certified mulesing-free
  • Use flystrike prevention alternatives like breeding, shearing, and hygiene
  • Embrace humane treatment at all stages
