Wool is hygroscopic. Wool is able to absorb humidity deep within the fiber, a feature that helps to regulate and absorb moisture on the skin’s surface. Wool is a natural insulator. Its natural crimp and elasticity give woolen bedding the ability to store air and create a perfect insulation layer that helps the body maintain its ideal temperature.
In addition to its warmth and durability, many unique and important characteristics set Wool apart from other fibers. Wool is inherently flame retardant and it won’t melt. Wool helps to regulate body temperature. Its thermostatic properties protect the body from both cold and heat.
Wool blankets are used in disaster relief, humanitarian aid, lifesaving rescues, hospitals, and for military use. It is an excellent product to have on hand for rescue and emergencies.
