Organic Wool Project, Germany

In 1991, UNESCO declared the Rhoen region in Germany a protected biosphere reserve, because many plant and animal species in this unique area were endangered. The Rhoen sheep, a special breed, was one of those species. hessnatur joined in this important protection and conservation project.

We support, and have supported for 17 years, local sheep farmers, guaranteeing the purchase of their wool. A wool which is especially strong, water repellent and known for its beautiful sheen. Working with all the suppliers involved in Rhoen wool production, hessnatur proudly offers this authentic, pure and toxin-free wool.

As for the Rhoen sheep: they’ve been saved from extinction and more than 2000 now roam happily in their beautiful and completely natural environment.
