Eco-friendly – when it’s ‘out with the old’ wool will naturally bio-degrade. It is a totally natural product, entirely renewable and sustainable. And it is 100% biodegradable – a very important feature in a world that is increasingly concerned about the environment. The benefits of wool include reducing your carbon footprint.

Wool is naturally anti-static – wool generates very little static electricity because of the qualities of its natural fibres. Static attracts lint, dirt and dust, so its anti-static properties keep it much cleaner for longer.

Wool has balanced thermal insulation properties – meaning it is warm in winter and cool in the summer.

Wool absorbs harmful pollutants – not only does wool absorb many harmful pollutants from the air, it does not re-emit them. It’s estimated that wool used in interiors can help purify the air for 30 years.

Merino wool reduces the opportunity for odours to develop because it quickly absorbs perspiration and evaporates it into the air. Unlike synthetic fabrics, wool does not retain odours and will freshen just from airing out. In addition, the outer layer of wool fibres has a high concentration of fatty acids, which have anti-bacterial properties. The internal layers of wool fibre actually bind with acidic, basic and sulphurous odours.
