Why Choose Wool
Thermal Regulation
Wool is a natural insulator, trapping air within and between its fibres. Wool insulation is enhanced by the crimp or waviness of the wool fibre.
Breathable
Wool fibres are naturally breathable. They can absorb large quantities of moisture vapor and allow it to evaporate.
Fire Resistant
Wool has a very high ignition temperature of 570-600°C. A large amount of oxygen is needed for wool to burn due to its high nitrogen and water content.
Eco Friendly
Wool is a natural, renewable resource that is non-toxic and is 100% biodegradable.
