Wool is fantastic. One could say that it is nature's own functional material. It is environmentally friendly, insulating, naturally flameproof, self-cleaning, allergy-friendly and completely natural. No synthetic or artificial material can surpass it. Join in and learn more about nature's miracle fiber - wool. Wool that does not itch? Many people think that all wool itches. It does not. It all depends on the type of wool you choose - or rather the thickness of the wool fiber. The unit micron is used to measure the thickness of the wool fiber. The lower the micron number of the fiber, the thinner it is and the less itchy it is. Merino wool has a low micron number (between 17-23), which makes it comfortable to wear against the skin. So if you have sensitive skin and want to avoid itching - look for wool that has a low micron value. At Team Sportia, it is important that all our Merino wool is Mulesing-free. What makes wool so good? It is the impressive combination of very functional and completely natural properties that makes it so exceptional. We have gathered some of the characteristics of this miracle fiber. Stay tuned, because now comes a lot of information: Gentle on the skin - The wool fiber is allergy-friendly, non-toxic and skin-friendly. And completely natural. Super insulation - Wool insulates excellently against cold. Fantastically, it insulates just as well against heat. The composition of the wool therefore helps us to regulate the body temperature - in all weathers. The wool also transports away excess moisture to keep the body dry. One could say that wool works in a similar way to the 3-layer principle and there is no synthetic fiber in the world that can measure up to wool in terms of function. Whole and clean - Wool is self-cleaning and does not smell bad in the same way as synthetic. The creatine found in wool naturally breaks down foul-smelling bacteria from the skin, which means that wool has a mechanical self-cleaning effect. The fiber surface in the wool is water-repellent, which counteracts bacterial growth and thus a bad smell. Wool garments do not need to be washed as often. The water vapor that passes through the garment brings with it dirt particles and a bad smell. Moist, but not cold - The wool fiber can absorb moisture up to 30% of its own weight without feeling damp, which means that the wool keeps the skin dry. a completely unique property of wool is that it warms even when it has become damp. An absolutely fantastic ability that takes place through a natural chemical process in the wool fiber. Snäll mot miljön - Den är 100% biologiskt nedbrytbar och återanvändbar. Det gillar naturen. Tack vare sin fantastiska sammansättning är den även naturligt flamsäker och svårantändlig, utan att en enda kemikalie är tillsatt. Mer om ull - Ull anses vara vårt allra äldsta textila material och än idag har vi inte kunnat framställa ett material som ens är i närheten av ullens funktionalitet. Det finns många olika typer av ull. De vanligaste typerna är lamm- eller fårull - framför allt Merinoull, vilket är en typ av fårull. Tvättråd Remember that wool garments do not need to be washed as often as counterparts in, for example, synthetics, as a natural protein in the fiber counteracts the growth of bacteria. Often it is enough to just air the garment a little. Once it is time for a wool garment to go into the washing machine, it is best to wash it on the wool program unless otherwise stated and to use a special wool detergent, then the garments hold best.
