Julie let me know recently that she's looking for a wool sweater and asked if I might have any suggestions about ethical ones. Challenge accepted!  :) As always thrifting is a great way to shop for ethical wool sweaters. We found a great vintage 80s Benetton wool sweater for Jo on etsy a couple years ago (my teenage self would have been so jealous!)...and that's not the only thrifted sweater we wear and love. :)

Knitting a sweater is another good choice, especially with a traceable origins wool...but that can take more than a minute and cooler temperatures are on the way.

So above are a few of my favorite ethical wool sweaters. Ethical means different things from sweater to sweater, so investigate the product + about pages for more information on that. Each of these brands has more sweaters on offer, so check them out too. I have to admit that it was easier to find ethical wool sweaters than I thought! What a pleasant surprise!

Thanks so much for the challenge, Julie!  Hope you find a sweater (or two) to love!!

Update 2019 :: Some of these brands are sadly no longer producing (or may not be producing quite so fairly anymore). Some of their lovely pieces may still be worth looking for on ebay. An updated fair sweaters post can be found here.  :)

Love,
Jane

Jane, thank you so much for taking on the challenge! I was coming up short in my search for ethical sweaters, but your list is impressive with so many choices. With an upcoming birthday and Christmas around the corner, I'll be adding one or two of these sweaters to my wish list. I'll be sure to let you know if I'm lucky enough to receive one. Thanks again for doing the research! :)
