Why wool? Wool is generated when sheep are sheared and the fleece is removed, washed, run through a picker then carded to align all the fibers. The fabric is created from the fibers.
As a fabric, wool has a variety of properties that make it as attractive a material today as it was a thousand years ago. Molecularly, wool fibers are tiny coils, which look like little springs. This makes them highly elastic and allows them to bounce back into shape even after lots of stretching. The coil structure also creates lots of space to trap air and moisture. This is what makes wool warm, but not overly so. Wool is also hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb up to thirty percent of its weight in water without feeling damp. It’s one of the only fabrics that will still keep you warm when wet, and its naturally high moisture and nitrogen content means that it is extremely flame-resistant.
Wool is durable, biodegradable, and just an elegant fabric choice.
