Wool Care
Loved clothes last. We want to help you get the best from your Woollykins for years to come.
Nappies
We love Disana's cloth nappy system. 100% organic and plastic-free for natural, toxic-free nappying. We used the Disana system for all three of our babies.
Padraig Cottage
Woollykins is delighted to include Padraig Cottage slippers in our collection. We have experienced first hand the wonderful quality, timelessness and durability of these slippers. A pair once came to us in 2009 having already been handed down twice and it has since been handed down three more times. That's the beauty of wool and great design. I know you will love these for all the family.
Padraig Cottage is a family run cottage industry started by Helen back in 1977. Padraig make exceptional quality slippers that are entirely handmade by skilled artisans, using natural, sustainable materials that respects the importance of both the local community and the environment.
Helen made her first pair of slippers for her young son in the winter of 1977. They had a hand cut sheepskin sole and a crocheted upper made with hand spun raw wool. In a few years they would become known as the Original Padraig Slipper. Since Helen started selling her wares at local craft markets, the slipper line and the company have grown and evolved. The slippers now come in numerous colour ways and styles and are sold in boutiques across Canada, the United States and Europe (and now Australia!).
Like us, Padraig Cottage have a profound appreciation for natural materials, especially wool. There is no better fibre next to your skin. Wool is an outstanding insulator, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. It possesses moisture-wicking capabilities and facilitates body temperature regulation, while its natural antibacterial lanolin oil fights odour and promotes skin health.
From the materials Padraig use to their cottage industry model they have always been aware of their impact on the earth and community. Padraig believe natural materials are superior in many ways and when managed ethically they are especially sustainable, being both biodegradable and renewable. Padraig only source our materials from reputable suppliers who share their social values.
