Whool from Saloia per Kg

Raw wool sold by the kilo, from Saloia breed sheep.
This flock, located in Loures, is registered in a herd book with ACRO. It belongs to an excellent producer and is raised under extensive grazing.
The shearing was carried out by Martin O'Connell and the wool was selected and dehaired by Alice Bernardo at the time of shearing, guaranteeing excellent quality wool for all types of enthusiasts.

This wool is available in 500gr or 1kg increments.

The Saloia is a Bordaleiro-style wool with medium to fine fibres. Many of these fleeces have fine, crimped fibres, resembling merino wool. To find out more about the Saloia sheep, read our blog article.

WHY DO WE COMMERCIALIZE RAW WOOL?
The commercialization of raw wool by Saber Fazer has two main objectives:

#1: To value the wool from the origin: the producer. The wool is bought by us above the market value valuing not only a raw material of quality but also the producers who are dedicated to their animals and take into consideration the production of wool.
Although the way we proceed is not yet standard in Portugal, we want to set an example.
The shearing is also carried out by our shearer, and the selection is made on the spot, which implies our traveling to the location of the herd. With this, we also want producers to see how we do it and start to have experience and knowledge about this area of Wool.

#2: To bring to people who love wool as much as we do an absolutely excellent product! Well-selected wool by someone who spun and made textiles for a living, impeccably sheared by a professional shearer, unweeded and stored to preserve its quality.
The term most often used to describe our selected wool is "delicious" and usually elicits big sighs! If we could, we would keep it all here in the atelier, but we like to share the pleasure of wool and bring out the best of Portuguese wool.
