Above all else: Breathability.

Ever since face masks have become a "normal" part of day-to-day life, more people are starting to understand the benefits of items made of breathable materials. They dry quickly, promote air circulation, and prevent skin from getting sticky with sweat.

We think that the primary reason Wool is such a super-fiber is it's breathability! Wool breathes, allowing hot air to leave a sleeping body that tends to overheat. Wool breathes, promoting quick dry times and preventing mold/mildew to grow, and other microbes to fester. Wool breathes, providing you and your family the highest quality, most practical fiber in existence.  

Fire resistant: Fact or fiction?

You may have heard that Wool is fire resistant - but have you heard that science has backed the use of wool as a protective base layer for those who may come in contact with fire or explosions? This is completely true!  

Wool naturally has a high ignition temperature. This means it takes more heat than say synthetic fibers like polyester and polypropylene, and even a natural fiber like cotton, to burn.

Wool also acts as a flame retardant, meaning it will put out a flame and smolder when compared to other fibrous materials.

Want to experiment yourself? Safely, take a piece of untreated wool and compare it to a cotton ball. With a match, light both on fire. You'll see that the cotton ball stays lit, with a strong burning flame. The Wool smolders out, leaving bits of burnt edges, but no dangerous flame.
