Wool is composed of keratin, a substance similar to that of hair, and has a very high insulating property, thanks to the air cushions that form between the undulations of its fibers. It has a natural elasticity that allows it to be subjected to strong stretching and twisting and to fully recover its original shape, thus making it crease. It is an antistatic fiber and therefore does not attract dust. The wool of this fabric is mulesing free. Mulesing is a practice, prohibited in Europe, but used in merino sheep farms in particular in Australia and Asia which consists in skinning the skin of the anal and perianal area of live animals.
Structurally, the fiber of Hemp (Cannabis stiva) is hollow and hygroscopic, from which a yarn with a high thermal insulating and breathable capacity is obtained, which behaves like wool: cool in summer and warm in winter. Among the natural fibers most resistant to textile processing, hemp makes it possible to create a fabric that is more resistant to mechanical action, wear, tear and deformation than any other natural fabric. The woven fiber reflects ultraviolet rays, shields from electrostatic fields, does not conduct electricity, does not irritate the skin because it is hypoallergenic and being antiseptic, it keeps bacteria away from the surface of our body and does not allow the formation of bad odors or development. of mold. In the environment, hemp plantations do not require aggressive treatments with pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals.
