Wool

Wool has been used for more than 10,000 years. It is a natural fiber that has a number of benefits.

Wool is a natural insulator to keep you warm in winter and naturally breathable to keep you cool in summer. Mongolians can use their wool in winter under -40 C and in summer when it’s + 20 C once it is pure as organic wool regulates temperature well.

  • Resilience, elastic, durable, breathable, and warm. Wool has the ability to easily absorb moisture and also to release moisture thereby always maintaining a perfect balance.
  • It’s hypoallergenic meaning that dust mites don’t like wool. They prefer hot humid environments that are more common in synthetic products. Dust mites are the major cause of allergy and asthma suffering.
  • Pure wool is fire-resistant. When subjected to flames, pure wool will smolder and extinguish itself.
  • When wool is organic, fine, and pure, it does not itch. In general, all types of pure wool are capable of absorbing up to a third of their dry weight in moisture.
  • Pure wool also has natural anti-microbial properties because bacteria tend to be attracted to smooth positively charged surfaces like those of synthetic fibers. Most synthetic fibers actually increase body odor because they create a breeding ground for bacteria. Sweat itself has no odor, but over time bacteria develop and create unpleasant odors. Pure wool reduces the opportunity for odors to develop because it quickly absorbs sweat and evaporates it into the air.
