Choosing Wool 100 Percent Pure
Clothing is a fascinating thing. What we wear can tell so much about our personality. We choose clothing that appeals to our personal taste. For some, comfort is a top priority, for others as long as it looks right, it doesn’t matter if it’s not particularly comfortable.
Contributing to the difference in clothing is not only the cut and style, but probably equally important is the material from which it is made. Cool, light materials such as silk and linen wear differently and work very well in warm weather clothing. Natural cottons, fur and wool work well for cold weather clothing.
Wool has been worn for warmth throughout the centuries. These fibers from the coat of sheep have the most excellent ability to keep warmth of the body in. Wool is also breathable, so it won’t make you sweat once you go from the freezing outdoor into a warm, indoor environment. It regulates your body temperature well.
Some other great qualities of wool are that it is natural, and renewable. It is said to be hypoallergenic and it even has antibacterial qualities that keep it from smelling bad if you sweat. This makes some types of light and soft wool such as merino great for athletic wear!
Wool is wonderful in coats and other outerwear, for which the less coarse wool can be used, as it doesn’t come into direct contact with the skin. Finer wool such as 220 wool is much softer and can be used in top quality suits and slacks.
With some types of wool 100 percent content would not be suitable so it is blended with silk, fur or other textiles to soften it. On the other hand, a sweater made of cashmere wool 100 percent is softer than any other type of wool or wool blend! This type of wool comes from the downy under coat of a cashmere goat and is extremely soft, light and warm. It feels wonderful to the touch and is very expensive.
One thing to remember with wool is that usually it will have to be dry cleaned. In some cases you can hand wash with a delicate detergent, but either way, most wool takes extra special care. However, some types of wool can actually be machine washed! For example, the merino wool used in athletic apparel is machine washable, which is much more convenient.
For a natural, environmentally friendly and very effective warm weather textile, wool can’t be beat. It comes in different grades from the fine 220 wool right down to the wool used in outerwear that is known for being warm but itchy. If you are in the market for some winter clothing, from socks to coats, sweaters, slacks or any other article of clothing, there is a type of wool 100 percent pure to be found!
