While most types of wool can only be derived by shearing hair off animals, Bactrian camels naturally shed their winter coats every spring.

Harvesting this type of hair is usually a sustainable and cruelty-free enterprise.

This sheep was found after hiding out in a cave for 6 years. His fleece continued to grow without the ability to be shorn. When found, they shaved off 60 lbs of wool off his body. An average weight at shearing is 10 lbs. For years he carried an ever increasing burden, because

390: The Wiltshire Horn, originally from Wiltshire in southern England raised for meat. Unusual among native British breeds, for it has the unusual feature of moulting its short wool & hair coat naturally in spring, obviating the need for shearing.

Sheep “need” shearing only because the wool industry breeds them to grow an unnaturally heavy coat. Beatings, stomping, throwing, mutilating…this is the gruesome reality they face for your wool jumper.
