Wool is nature’s best fabric. It is moisture wicking, mildew and mold resistant, hypoallergenic and it comes from SHEEP! Today, we are talking to Theresa Bentz from Get Bentz Farm. “The Bentz family raises grass-fed lamb, high-quality sheep’s wool, and native plants for dying wool. Their snout-to-tail operation utilizes all parts of the animal from the meat, to the skulls, to the prized wool. In addition, they run an on-farm wool mill that transforms raw wool into roving, a long bundle of fibers, in a rainbow of colors.”
