BENEFITS OF WOOL
It’s natural
Wool is a natural protein fiber found on the backs of sheep. It is considered one of the most effective forms of all-weather protection, while man-made fibers with the same properties have yet to be produced.
It’s breathable
As wool fibers are packed together, tiny pockets of air form allowing the material to absorb and release moisture. This could be moisture in the atmosphere, or perspiration from the wearer. This makes wool an extremely breathable material.
It’s odor-resistant
As wool can absorb the moisture from your skin, i.e. absorb sweat when you perspire, wool can even help to absorb any odor from sweating that is only released upon washing.
It reacts to your body
Wool is also able to react to any changes in your body temperature. It’s an active fiber that helps you to stay warm when it’s cold and cools you when it’s warm.
It’s static resistant
As wool can absorb moisture from your body or the surrounding air, it rarely creates static electricity like synthetic fibers do, keeping you cozy and comfortable and avoiding any awkward clinging.
It’s anti-wrinkle
Each wool fiber is structured much like a coiled string, allowing it to return to its natural shape after being bent, so woolen items tend not to crease or wrinkle.
It’s easy to clean
As its primary function is to protect the body of a sheep to the surrounding environment, wool fibers have a natural protective outer layer. This helps to prevent any marks or stains from being absorbed, so the dirt sits of the surface and is easily removed.
