A native of New Zealand, Tim Brown was always well versed in the magical qualities of merino wool. Inherently curious, he began asking himself why such a remarkable, sustainable resource was virtually absent in the footwear industry. And with that spirit of wonder, the Allbirds journey began. After years of researching and tinkering, Tim teamed up with Joey Zwillinger, an engineer and renewables expert. Together, they crafted a revolutionary wool fabric made specifically for footwear. MADE FROM NATURE -The footwear industry often overlooks Mother Nature?s materials in favor of cheaper, synthetic alternatives. We think it?s time to change that. au.allbirds.com

Yes- a very clever idea. Also recently posted on IdeaSpies by another admirer. By coincidence I am now visiting Hobart and just bought a merino and wallaby beanie!
