Embrace the Natural Choice and Celebrate Wool Month with the Campaign for Wool
October is officially Wool Month, and the Campaign for Wool is kicking things off with a bang! Throughout the entire month, they’ll be hosting a series of events across the UK to celebrate this incredible natural fibre. This year’s theme, “Check It’s Wool,” reminds us of the lasting environmental impact of synthetic clothing and encourages us to make conscious choices for a healthier planet.
Wool: The Sustainable Superstar
When it comes to sustainability, wool reigns supreme. Unlike synthetic fabrics that end up in landfills and pollute our oceans, wool is natural, renewable, and biodegradable. It breaks down in soil, enriching it with nutrients, and even biodegrades in water, leaving no harmful microplastics behind.
But wool’s benefits go far beyond sustainability. This versatile fibee offers exceptional warmth and comfort. Wool’s natural thermoregulatory properties keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, while its hygroscopic abilities wick away moisture to keep you feeling fresh. Recent research even suggests that superfine wool can be beneficial for eczema sufferers, challenging the misconception that wool is always itchy.
