Scoured Wool

Wool is naturally safe. It is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibre’s microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away. Due to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres. Wool will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations. Wool also has a naturally high level of uv protection, which is much higher than most synthetics and cotton.
