Wool Facts

Column

Wool is a renewable, biodegradeable fiber, that makes a eco-friendly fabric option.



Wool is easy to care for, as it can (and should) be worn multiple times before becoming soiled. It’s also odour reducing, as bacteria is not attracted to wool.

Column

Wool is a colour fast fibre, meaning it retains its deep, rich colour without fading over time. It can provide beautiful drape, while retaining its shape, resisting wrinkles and still stretching for comfort.


RESISTANCE TO FLAME Because wool contains moisture in each fiber, it resists flame without chemical treatment. Instead of burning freely when touched by flame, wool chars and stops burning when it is removed from the source of fire. Wool is self-extinguishing. It will not support combustion; this is why wool blankets are recommended for use in extinguishing small fires.

Column


It can be worn year round! It can both insulate during cold seasons and breath during warm season.


Moisture absorbing and water repellent! The fiber will wick and moves moisture away from the body, and its hydrophobic surface repels liquid, helping you stay warm in wet conditions.
