Properties of boiled wool fabric:

Regulates moisture➡️ In rain or snow, boiled wool provides excellent protection because it can absorb moisture almost 60% of its own weight without letting skin feel it. The high lanolin content and density of the fabric makes water droplets slide off the surface of the garment, acting as a moisture repellent. It is almost waterproof!

Regulates temperature ➡️ Air bubbles trapped in the fabric act as a natural barrier keeping the temperature constant even in cold or windy conditions.

Durable ➡️ Boiled wool jackets retain their shape after years of use thanks to their natural elasticity. The beaten weaves have increased durability for repeated wear. At the same time boiled wool remains soft, comfortable and, unlike other materials, can be stretched in all directions.

Comfortable ➡️ Boiled wool garments are light, dense, protect from the cold but don't hang heavy on children, which makes them so comfortable to play in.

Attractive ➡️ Boiled wool is one of the most elegant and beautiful materials resistant to wind, water and cold. They are soft and pleasant to the touch, almost windproof & waterproof.

Naturally antibacterial and neutralizes odors ➡️ Wool cleans itself, the outer surfaces of the fiber removing dirt from them. Most of the time you just need to gently shake it by hand or air it out.
