Antibacterial properties
Wool contains lanolin, a natural substance with antibacterial properties that help prevent the growth of bacteria and odour, especially in footwear.
Reduced skin friction
Sheepskin can reduce skin friction making it beneficial for people with mobility challenges, are tactile-defensive or spend extended periods in bed or in wheelchairs.
Psychologically comforting
Most folks find the softness and comfort of sheepskin soothing, which can have positive effects on mental well-being.
Sleep more soundly
Wool has been scientifically proven to help you go to sleep faster and for longer.
Soft & gentle on skin
Wool fibres are extremely fine, enabling them to bend giving you that soft, gentle, luxurious, comfy feel on your skin.
Hypo-allergenic
Wool is resistant to dust mites, mould, and mildew making it the ideal material for folks of any age who suffer from allergies or asthma.
Odour resistant
Wool absorbs moisture vapour meaning less sweat on your body. It also absorbs the odour molecules from sweat, which are only released upon washing.
Naturally breathable
Wool fibres absorb large quantities of moisture vapour and then move it away to evaporate into the air.
Naturally elastic
This means that wool items stretch with you and can still return to their original shape if need be. This ability to mould to a shape provides extra comfort and a better fit.
Brilliant insulation
Because wool has auto thermo-regulating properties, it is considered to be one of the best materials for clothing, footwear, and bedding.
Warm & Toasty Feet
Natural kinks and bends in sheep wool trap air, keeping you warm.
Both warm & cool
Wool is an active fibre that reacts to changes in body temperature- making it perfect to wear year-round! You’ll be warm when it’s cold, and cool when it’s hot.
100% natural & biodegradable
When sheepskin wool is thrown away, it quickly and naturally decomposes releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.
Highly recyclable
Items made from sheepskin wool are 300% more likely to be recycled than synthetic clothing.
No microplastic pollution
Unlike synthetic fibre, wool biodegrades naturally and quickly without releasing any pollutants into the ocean, atmosphere, or environment.
Fire resistant
Wool takes a long time to ignite. Unlike many common synthetic materials, it will not stick or melt into flesh and skin causing injury and pain.
Durability
Good quality sheepskin products can be long-lasting, giving you value for money while reducing waste.
Easy to clean
Wool can be gently washed in tepid/cold water in a washing machine or by hand wash. Hot water is the enemy.
Stain resistant
Wool fibres have a natural protective outer layer that helps prevent stains from being absorbed.
Wrinkle resistant
At a microscopic level, each wool fibre is like a coiled spring that returns to its natural shape after being bent, leaving your item wrinkle free!
Travel friendly
Not only are items made from sheepskin and wool easy and light to pack, they also do not need to be washed as often as synthetic equivalents or ironed.
UV resistant
Wool naturally offers some protection against the harmful UV radiation, making it a great material for outdoor activities.
Anti-static
Because wool tends not to generate static, it attracts less dust and lint.
