1. the management of livestock according to organic or holistic management principles
2. the processing of raw wool, using newer, more benign processes rather than harmful scouring and descaling chemicals; and wastewater treatment from scouring and processing
3. weaving according to Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS). Read more about GOTS here.
