An excerpt:  Odds are, that sweater you’re wearing is colored; just as likely, it comes from wool that wasn’t. That’s because, in a counter-intuitive (not to say control freak-ish) move, the garment industry prefers its wool come clean—the simpler to then dye it back. “Machines that make bales of wool get ‘polluted’ with wool that is not white, [and] different colors need to be classified,” says Christina DesVaux of El Origen Wool. The result is that a lot of perfectly good wool gets tossed.
