CELEBRATE International Heritage Breeds Week with us this May.
Nature’s finest fiber - from warm and earthy browns, beige and creams, to classic black, white and greys - all JG SWITZER wool pillows are created using biodegradable and sustainable wool, and most are naturally colored by mother nature.
Hand milled with love at our design workshop in Northern California, where we make our own pure wool fabric from Heritage and other premium sheep breeds.
Heirloom sheep are similar to Heirloom Seeds, which have been carefully cultivated and passed down through generations, but now must be protected and preserved for future generations.
Many domestic American sheep breeds are on the equivalent of the Endangered Species List for small domestic animals, a list maintained by The Livestock Conservancy.
JG SWITZER is an ardent admirer and proud sponsor of the Livestock Conservancy’s Shave 'em to Save 'Em Initiative for these Heritage Sheep breeds on rarewool.org. We’d also like to thank The Livestock Conservancy for their help and support in our combined endeavour.
Your purchase will help support the farmers who’ve kept, and are still keeping these small flocks of Heritage sheep breeds alive.
