The time of snuggling warmly under a woolen blanket by the fire is almost over. But a wool blanket is also a good purchase in spring, summer and autumn. It keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter!
There are many advantages of this natural material.
From the long list, these are some examples of wool:
Wool is considered a circular fabric because as long as there is grass to graze on, sheep will continue to grow their fleece, making it a renewable fiber. And like synthetic products, it doesn't need to use fossil fuels like oil in its production, so it doesn't harm the planet.
It is a completely biodegradable product, meaning it has no impact on the earth. Other non-wool (synthetic) blankets will never be fully biodegradable and contribute to ongoing microplastic pollution.
The fibers in wool form small air pockets, allowing the material to absorb and release moisture, making it extremely breathable. It also reacts with your body! It is an active fiber that helps you regulate your temperature and moisture, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Because wool is originally there to protect the sheep's bodies from the elements, it has a naturally protective outer layer. This layer prevents stains from being absorbed, making them easier to remove. Most wool blankets can be washed in the washing machine. See the care label for instructions.
Wool fibers consist of proteins that are naturally flexible, so it resists folding and wrinkling and returns to its natural shape. During the production process, unlike other fibers, wool absorbs the dye until it is completely saturated, so the colors last longer.
