This was posted on Facebook, in the UK spinners group, some woman spreading lies about wool coming from slaughtered sheep, and other BS to give herself some image to get in the media and make pot loads of money.

If anyone has a kickstarter account could you report it for false claims. I did.
This is what British art and craft is full of, this kind of crap, you can't just be good, you need some schtick or backstory. This is really damaging to many good and ethical businesses too.
It made me mad that you can't comment on the project too unless you're a backer.

I must ask around, she apparently runs her business from a farm near me. Sounds like something of a chancer.

There's marketing, then there's BAD marketing. What a shame she's so ignorant.

Unfortunately, I think it's deliberate false info rather than ignorance, Marilyn  Lots of people have reported it to kickstarter, and a few to trading standards, I think. She has a tweet which reads "Probably the only death-free wool socks in the world" |

HMM so wrong, she obviously knows nothing of sheep if she thinks a farmer slaughters his wool flock. Duh lady!
