why does wool make me itch
The itch you feel when you use coarse wool happens when the ends of the wool fiber rub against your skin. It can cause itching and sometimes even make your skin to break out in a rash. Temperature: Obviously you wonât be wearing a wool sweater in the middle of summer. 2  But if itâs winter and itâs hot in the room, that can make your sweater more itchy. 3  Skin conditions: If you already have a skin condition such as eczema, youâre probably more likely to itch, even if youâre wearing a high-quality wool.
