The Amazing Properties of Wool
Six reasons to fall in love with wool!
Itâs no secret then that wool is a fabric that offers a whole host of benefits but what is it about that makes it so special? And why is wool better than alternative fibres?
Comfort
If you want to achieve a perfect sleep, look no further than wool. With
its health benefits and its luxurious, enhanced comfort, wool has been
proven to improve your sleep because when you cocoon yourself in wool,
youâre guaranteed a healthier, happier sleep, leaving you feeling fully
rested and refreshed each morning.
Cool when hot, and warm when not
Comfort isn't the only element of wool which sets it apart from other
types of fabrics - it's also a natural insulator. This means youâll be
kept warm in winter, and cooler in the summer â thanks to its
temperature regulating capabilities and its naturally breathable fibres.
Hypoallergenic
If youâre looking for anti-allergy option you canât go wrong with wool,
as itâs naturally hypoallergenic. Although some people do have a rare
natural allergy to Lanolin- the oil found in wool - most people's
allergy to wool is a reaction to the many harsh and toxic chemicals that
go into the treatment and finishing of conventional wool products.
Moisture Resistance
Another virtue of wool is that it has a water repellent effect. In other
words, you can brush light raindrops off your sweater before the water
gets the time to soak into the wool. The fabric is also considerably
stain-resistant, and as such has a natural resistance to mildews and
moulds from the way it repels moisture, and lets moisture pass through
its fibres without trapping it
Clean
Wool is naturally dirt resistant, needing less washing than other
textiles. This makes it easy to clean, because any dirt or dust will sit
on the surface of the fibre. The outside surface of the wool fibre
consists of a series of overlapping fibres, similar to the feathers on a
bird, making it easy to brush off and for stains to lift out.
Durable
Wool fibres resist tearing and can bend back on themselves multiple
times without breaking. Wool has got a natural stretch; it doesnât need
ironing and its super durable. In other words, wool products last a long
time without showing much sign of wear and tear.
