Why We Love to Wear Wool
by Halcyon Dreams Australian Wool Quilts OnlineFashion and comfort have always been part of the picture when it comes to human beings seeking to look and feel their best every day. With so many designs and looks to choose from, and fashion catering to every whim, the options seem endless.
As our world evolves, though, people are increasingly turning back to classic fabrics and materials that are more than just a fashion flash in the pan. Wool is a timeless classic that has been taking care of comfort for humans across the centuries. It always looks good, and comes with many other key benefits.
It's Comfortable and Warm
Because the fibre in wool is very breathable, it can help regulate the temperature of your body year-round. In the winter, it keeps you warm while in summertime it helps keep you from feeling hot. The miniature air pockets within the fibre itself serve as a natural insulator.
The curls of the fibre, which help give sheep their distinctive look, make wool very comfortable and soft. They also help trap the air for insulation and can wick away moisture. That's why a pure wool quilt is great for sleeping any time of the year too.
Renewable and Eco-Friendly
Wool has stood the test of time for thousands of years. It's a remarkable natural fibre that is far friendlier to the environment than the multitude of synthetic fabrics we see manufactured and treated with dangerous chemicals today. Because wool is naturally resistant to fire, it doesn't have to be treated with chemicals that are harmful to human health. It's non-toxic, which is why many love to sleep under a pure wool quilt at night.
The fibre is also bio-degradable. At the end of its long life span, it will decompose and return to the earth. It's also a renewable resource, as the sheep are sheared every year during the summer season and then grow back new fleece by winter.
Wonderful Health Benefits
As do many purely natural products, wool has important health benefits too. It has antibacterial properties and can be very beneficial for the skin. Its ability to help reduce skin irritation can really boost the physical and mental well-being of those afflicted with skin conditions.
Since wool that is processed naturally is free of harsh chemicals, it is hypoallergenic. Socks made from this fibre can be great for your feet as they wick away moisture and also act to inhibit any bacterial growth. Interestingly, wool is mostly composed of keratin which is the same protein that is found in human hair.Sponsor Ads
