Contemporary Cowichan sweaters are knit from natural, hand spun, undyed sheep’s wool.  This strong and stretchy yarn makes a sweater that keeps its shape.  The high lanolin content of the wool makes a water repellant, stain resistant sweater that keeps its wearer warm and dry, absorbs body moisture, and ventilates body heat.  These sweaters, if taken care of should last for decades.  They are passed down from generation to generation.
