About Wool

Wool is good for the environment and good for you

Wool is a natural fibre that has been developed to protect and provide for sheep in the natural elements, and now it can protect you too!

Benefits of Wool: 

- Odour resistant - the properties of wool mean you sweat less and the moisture wicking ability absorbs the sweat away from the body.

-Wrinkle resistant - Due to the spring in the fibre, wool will return back to its shape after being bent

-Breathable and light weight - Wool can absorb water and naturally move it away to evaporate to the air. Wool is super warm and breathable on the body.

- Soft on skin - the fine fibres of wool mean they are super soft and gentle on skin

-Insulating - wool will react to your body temperature, helping you to stay warm in winter and cool in summer

- Strength - Whilst wool is light weight and naturally elastic it is a superstrong fibre, keeping the quality of your products high

- Fire resistant - the chemical structure of wool makes it fire resistant and doesn’t melt to skin.

- UV resistant - Wool provides protection from the sun, absorbing the UV radiation.

 

How Wool is Sustainable: 

 Wool is an environmentally positive fibre choice with a number of benefits, such as being 100% natural, renewable, biodegradable and recyclable. Not to mention that it is thermo-regulating, easy to care for, and can be repaired and enjoyed for years and years.

Wool is the original eco fibre

There are so many benefits of wearing wool:

- 100% biodegradable - Wool will naturally decompose in soil, releasing valuable nutrients back to the earth.

- Natural - Wool is grown all over the world and Australia, consuming a simple blend of water, air, sunshine and grass.

- Sustainable - Wool is the most reused fibre in the world and unlike sythentics it has no mircoplatistics which helps to keep our land and oceans clean. The properties of Wool mean that wool garments dont need to be washed as often as sythentics, saving on water. 

- Recycling and Repairing - Wool is extremely durable and strong giving wool products a longer life span. However when needed the fibres can be broken down and reprocessed into new yarn or can be easily repaired with patches or darning.

- Circular economy - Wool is a circular fibre that be reused over and over or give back to the earth to help sheep grow a new fleece restarting the process.
