TOUGH LOVE
At just 3 years old, my grandfather Eli was already on night duty. This meant a two hour patrol of the family flock, alert for
roaming jackal in the freezing Namaqualand nights.
A daunting task for a small boy, but his parents were dirt poor
migrant farmers... their sheep were all they had.
And the Namaqualand desert is not
for the faint-hearted.
PURE MERINO WOOL
Namaqua Merino wool is an extraordinary example
of natural engineering.
Because merino fibres are much finer than other wools,
it ‘warms above its weight’ - being wonderfully snug,
yet feather-light and itch-free on your skin.
ORGANIC LANOLIN
Lanolin - is a natural wax, secreted by the sebaceous glands
of wool-bearing animals. It is Nature’s own coccoon...
protecting both wool and skin from the extremes of climate.
