Wool is the most effective animal textile fiber to fight the winter cold. With its natural characteristics it transmits a healthy well-being to our body in winter ensuring perfect thermoregulation.

Its most valuable feature is in fact that of helping our body to maintain a regular and constant temperature, avoiding sudden changes in temperature; wool will never make you feel too hot.

Wool is also very breathable and has excellent moisture absorption capacity, so it lets sweat pass through and we will never have the sensation of wet skin, which instead happens when wearing synthetic fleeces or acrylic sweaters that create a layer on the skin.

What is not insignificant, wool is dirt repellent and has the ability to self-regenerate thanks to lanolin, characteristics that make it sufficient to expose wool to the open air to remove odors and "regenerate" the garment without the need to wash it every time. In fact, we recommend washing wool as little as possible.

For washing it is always better to do it by hand with a little delicate detergent. Wool should absolutely not be wrung out but to remove excess water the garment should be rolled around a towel. Reshape the garment when it is damp and always lay it flat to avoid it from deforming!
Even when you keep it in the closet, it is always better to keep it folded on a shelf rather than hanging it on a hanger. With the weight, the wool fibers tend to stretch!
