Benefits of wool
Sheep are part of the natural carbon cycle, consuming the organic carbon stored in plants and converting it to wool. Fifty per cent of the weight of wool is pure organic carbon.
Wool products have long lifespans, meaning they are used or worn longer than other textile fibre products
Wool textile products tend to be washed less frequently at lower temperatures which has a lower impact on the environment
Wool is readily recyclable: with a market share of 1,3% of all textile fibres, wool claims 5% within the recycled fibres market share!
Wool biodegrades readily on land and in water – as a protein-based fibre, wool does not contribute to microplastic pollution
Sleep: Wool can help you get to sleep faster and sleep for longer.
Moisture management & breathability: Bedding and mattresses – wool’s breathability reduces humidity and keeps temperatures from rising in the immediate environment, limiting the opportunities for dust mites to develop, improving sleeping conditions, particularly for allergy and asthma sufferers. Fire-resistance: wool is naturally flame-resistant, no need for additional chemicals
Wool uses 18% less energy than polyester and nearly 70% less water than cotton to produce 100 sweaters.
