Why choose wool?

With winter fast approaching, there’s no better time to consider adding wool to your wardrobe. Here are some of the many benefits of wearing wool:

• Clean Easy

Wool fibres have a protective outer layer, as it’s designed by nature to protect sheep of course! Dirt sits on the surface of the fibre making it easy to get rid of as it isn’t absorbed.

• Environmentally friendly

As we as consumers are becoming increasingly aware of how our shopping choices are affecting the environment, wool has top notch eco credentials. It breaks down far faster than synthetic fibres, is natural and long-lasting. Find out more about Aran Sweaters at a site like Shamrock Gift

• Non-wrinkle

Every fibre is similar to a coiled string so will always return to its natural shape when stretched. This means wool clothes tend not to crease or wrinkle.

• Won’t get pongy

Wool is naturally resistant to odour. It is highly absorbent, and this includes sweat. Any smell from sweat is only released when washed so it’s the ideal material to put on after exercising.

• Totally renewable

So long as we have sheep grazing, we will have wool and plenty of it! Those who grow wool take great care of protecting the environment to create a sustainable industry for the future.

• 100% natural

As nature intended, straight from the backs of sheep across the world, wool is a completely natural, highly protective fibre that man-made fibres struggle to replicate.
