Wool is 7 times more wear-resistant than cotton and even 10 times more durable than silk.
Wool has the ability to return to its original shape when stretched. This fiber can stretch up to a third.
The structure of wool is interesting in that it can hold moisture in the spaces between the cells, which it will not feel at all. Wool naturally pushes excess moisture to the dry part, so it evaporates faster.
Three-quarters of the world’s wool is produced in warm countries, but two-thirds of wool products are bought in northern countries.
As much as 85% of Australian wool is sold at auctions; only 5 percent are purchased electronically.
Wool is produced not only by sheep, but also by alpacas, goats, rabbits, camels, yaks and even beavers.
“Biting” wool products have long been said to improve blood circulation, but no research has been done to support this claim.
