wool is seasonless

Not only is wool natural, renewable, recyclable and biodegradable, but also extremely versatile and seasonless. So why not wear wool in the summer!

Here are the reasons why. 

1. Moisture wicking

Hot weather and sweat go hand in hand, but wool has a built-in way to keep you dry and comfortable. Its fibers naturally attract and absorb moisture, soaking up up to 30% of their weight without even feeling damp to the touch. As wool pulls moisture away from your skin, it pushes it to the surface, where it evaporates—way more efficiently than most fabrics. In fact, wool doesn’t just wick sweat; it moves water vapor before it even turns into sweat! Unlike other materials, wool releases moisture through its fibers, making it one of the most breathable and comfortable materials out there.

2. Temperature regulating

Sheep have had millions of years to perfect staying comfy in any weather, and their wool is basically nature’s built-in climate control. Unlike synthetics or other natural fibers, wool adapts to your body temperature, keeping you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot. It all comes down to its natural rippled structure - "its crimp"—those tiny waves in the fibers trap heat in chilly weather and let air circulate when it’s warm. Plus, as wool absorbs moisture, it pulls heat away from your skin, keeping you feeling fresh even on hot days. Pretty smart, right?

3. Odour resistant

Wool is a game-changer when it comes to staying fresh and smelling good after a hot day outside. Its fibers soak up a ton of moisture— 2X more than cotton and 30 times more than polyester—so your skin stays drier, and prevents build up of sweat, mold and bacteria that cause odors. It’s almost like wool has its own built-in washing system! The secret? Keratin, a natural protein in the fibers, traps odor-causing bacteria and only releases them when you wash it. That means less stink and more wear between washes!

4. UV protective

Too much sun isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s one of the biggest culprits behind wrinkles, dark spots, and early signs of aging. The good news? Wool has your back! Unlike other fabrics, wool naturally blocks UV rays (with a UV protection factor of 30+) because this natural fibre evolved to protect sheep from the elements. It actually absorbs UV radiation, keeping it off your skin and helping you stay safer in the sun. Pretty cool for a cozy fiber, right?
