Some of the qualities of the pure wool:
*Natural and renewable – wool is grown not made; every year sheep grow a new fleece. Wool products also use less energy than man-made fibres during manufacture.
*Sunsafe – wool has naturally high UV protection. Your devices will be protected from overheating when exposed to sun.
*Biodegradable – when disposed of, natural wool fibre takes only a few years to decompose, and with a high nitrogen content, wool can even act as a fertilizer.
*Multi-Climatic – wool acclimatizes to its surroundings.
*Flame retardant – wool fibre has a higher ignition threshold than many other fibres and is flame retardant.
*Breathable – wool’s natural structure allows it to absorb and release water vapour into the atmosphere, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Your electronic devices will not be exposed to high temperature range in the winter as well as in the summer.
*Non allergenic – wool is not known to cause allergy and does not promote the growth of bacteria. With microscopic scales, wool fibres can trap dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.
*Durable and elastic – wool fibre can be bent many times without breaking and still have the power to recover and return to its natural shape. Quality wool garments look good for longer.
*Easy care – retaining a small amount of natural oil, wool fibre resists dirt and grease. Your bag does not need too much effort to maintain it clean and good looking.
*Naturally insulating – wool can insulate by providing and retaining warmth, and reducing energy costs.
