Due to the wild nature of the Mallorcan sheep, you may find seeds and plants from the island nestled in the wool. These elements make each item unique.

Care Instructions:
This is untreated wool so it has self cleaning and anti bacterial properties. It should therefore preferably be hung out to air instead of washing it. However, if stained you can hand wash it cold with a natural soap.
We do not use any dyes, therefore it is free from heavy metals and free from harmful AZO-dyes.
Made from 100% natural wool, raised, grazed and hand-crafted in Mallorca.
What is Sol Lana?
Sol Lana was created by Wunder Workshop's co-founder Zoe from a combination of her passion for sheep, localism, natural materials, and regenerative business.
Living in Mallorca, and being surrounded by these beautiful sentient beings, has made her acutely aware of their cycle of life which intertwines with traditional Mallorcan farming practices. Each year in the spring, she would observe the sheep being sheared -which is important in a place like Mallorca where temperatures reach (and often stay) around 40°C in the summer months. Sheep can overheat and die if not shorn, and their thick coats become the target for parasitic species such as ticks, lice, mites, and maggots that can lead to other painful problems.
Despite this, she could never find Mallorcan wool products. It sent her on a quest to find out what happens to this wool, and the revelation that it simply gets discarded, or burnt, as a waste product broke her heart. Wool is one of the most incredible materials that we, as humans, have privilege to work with.
It is a naturally renewable and biodegradable material that has the unique ability to self-regulate body temperature’; keeping us warm during the winter, and cool during the summer. It is also self-cleaning, strongly resistant and long lasting. It’s for exactly these reasons that our ancestors celebrated and made great use of wool. This beautiful material has been used for our clothing, and our homes throughout history.
On her quest to find a solution to the needless waste of this wonderful raw material, she came across Llanatura, a charity and social enterprise who work to transform raw, discarded wool using traditional techniques to create distinctly unique and high quality felt. Their mission to create a facility that regenerates the local economy through waste wool, with minimal environmental impact - zero water or chemical treatments, was an inspiration to see.
It was here that the idea of Sol Lana was born! Drawing from a place of need for high quality regenerative materials, a deep appreciation for sheep and extending the life-cycle of wasted wool.
By supporting woolen Sol Lana products, you are supporting ancient materials, a circular economy, and therefore removing the need for new and non-biodegradable raw materials.
