Wonders of Wool

Wool is a beautiful natural fibre derived from the fleece of sheep, has been utilised due to its remarkable properties and versatility. This fibre is not only celebrated for its warmth and comfort but also for its sustainability and environmental benefits.

Wool is 100% naturally grown all year-round, with each new year Australian sheep produce a new fleece, making wool a completely renewable fibre.

When a wool is placed back into the soil, it will naturally biodegrade in a matter of years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.

Check out this video here of His Majesty King Charles III burying wool to demonstrate the biodegradability compared to plastic. 

Wool is one of the most breathable fibres and can absorb large quantities of moisture. 

Wool is reactive to changes in body temperature, aiding in warmth during cold weather and cooling in hot weather.

Wool even absorbs the odour molecules from sweat, which are only released upon washing.

Wool’s inherent chemical structure makes wool naturally flame resistant!
