Wool has loads of good properties!
Wool has traditionally been one of the most used materials for clothing, protection and insulation and that is not without reason! The beautiful natural fibers of real sheep’s wool and goat’s wool combine many good properties, which makes wool extremely suitable for this. The wool fiber has a special structure that regulates temperature, continues to insulate even when wet and is fire resistant. Wool hardly itches or stings, making it wonderfully soft and comfortable. Wool is hypoallergenic because it repels mites and prevents bad odors because bacteria don’t like wool either. Wool does not mold, is stain resistant and you do not have to wash it often. Just let them air outside and your woolen socks will be fresh again!
