Why choose natural yarns?

Wool is good for the environment
​
It is natural, renewable, and biodegradable. When it decomposes in soil, it releases nutrients into the earth. It biodegrades very quickly, unlike synthetic yarns, which take many years to decompose.
​
Wool is resistant to mold & mildew
​
As we know, mold and mildew need a damp atmosphere to thrive on. Wool does not provide this as it naturally wicks away any moisture.
​
Wool is 100% natural
It is grown all year round on sheep who are kept in natural conditions with access to grass, water, sunshine and fresh air.
​
Wool reacts to changes in body temperature
​
It has the amazing ability to react to body temperature, so it keeps you warm in Winter and cool in Summer.
​
Natural yarns biodegrade much more quickly than synthetic yarns
​
Synthetics such as acrylic take up to 200 years to biodegrade, compared to a yarn such as T shirt recycled yarn which takes no more than 6 months to fully biodegrade, and linen which takes a similar time to T shirt cotton yarn.
