Get cosy this Wool Week...

Posted on October 05, 2015 by Noorin Khamisani | 0 comments


Now in it's sixth year, the UK's annual Wool Week is going from strength to strength.  This year it runs from the 5th to the 11th of October.  The Campaign for Wool is a global endeavour initiated by its patron, The Prince of Wales, in order to raise consumer awareness about the unique, natural, renewable and biodegradable benefits of the fibre.

We love using wool in our collections for many reasons:

1. Natural: wool is a protein fibre formed in the skin of sheep and 100% natural.  Used since the Stone Age, it's one of the best all-weather protection materials available. 

2. Renewable: as long as sheep have grass to graze on, they will grow a new fleece each year. 

3. Trans-seasonal: thanks to its hygroscopic abilites, wool adapts to changes in your body temperature and maintains its comfort.  It keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. 

4. Easy care: wool fibres have a natural protective waxy coat which helps it resist staining.  It also picks up less dust which means it's also antic-static.  Many wool items can now be machine washed too.

5. Biodegradable: at the end of it's useful life wool can be returned to the soil where it will decompose naturally. 

So with these qualities in mind we have some fab new merino wool styles now available online.   These are produced by an ethical label in Lithuainia. 

Firstly check out our 100% Merino wool layering essentials in classic black.

All are machine washable and work just as well worn out and about or as cosy loungewear at home.
