One of the most important characteristics of the natural wool blanket is the
ability to insulate and retain air without blocking air circulation. This
process can be easily explained. Wool's crimp naturally creates a textile volume
which is help to retain heat and at the same time wool textile is completely
breathable. This unique ability of wool to adjust the air temperature has been
known many centuries ago.
Another distinctive characteristic of organic wool blanket is ability to absorb
excess moisture, then gradually releases it into the air. Wool is able to absorb
approximately 1/3 of it's own weight.
Wool blanket is also naturally static electricity resistant. This feature is
conditioned by wool's ability to absorb moisture and then this moisture conducts
static electricity.
Wool is known to be naturally flame retardant. Unlike most synthetic fiber, wool
has low rate of flame spread and low heat of combustion. It means that wool
blankets provide a high safety environment.
