Merino wool socks, they were rated poorly for smell retention. Merino socks
were the best all-round performers, yielding a comfortable experience with
superior odour control whilst being cleanable at lower temperatures.

WHY WOOL?
NATURAL
Wool is a protein fibre formed in the skin of sheep, and is thus one
hundred percent natural, not man-made. Since the Stone Age, it has
been appreciated as one of the most effective forms of all-weather
protection known to man, and science is yet to produce a fibre which
matches its unique properties.
RENEWABLE
As long as there is grass to graze on, every year sheep will produce a new
fleece; making wool a renewable fibre source. Wool growers actively work to
safeguard the environment and improve efficiency, endeavouring to make the
wool industry sustainable for future generations.
BIODEGRADABLE
At the end of its useful life, wool can be returned to the soil, where it
decomposes, releasing valuable nutrients into the ground. When a natural
wool fibre is disposed of in soil, it takes a very short time to
break down, whereas most synthetics are extremely slow to degrade.
Wool is 100% biodegradable so does not contribute to microplastic pollution in
our oceans or on our land.
NATURAL INSULATOR
Wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises
and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is
generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool
a natural insulator. Used in the home, wool insulation helps to
reduce energy costs and prevents the loss of energy to the external
environment,
thus reducing carbon emissions.
BREATHABLE
Wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions
of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb
and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from
the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency. Wool has a
large capacity to absorb moisture vapour (up to 30 per cent of its
own weight) next to the skin, making it extremely breathable.
RESILIENT & ELASTIC
Wool fibres resist tearing and are able to be bent back on themselves over
20,000 times without breaking. Due to its crimped structure, wool is also
naturally elastic, and so wool garments have the ability to stretch
comfortably with the wearer, but are then able to return to their
natural shape, making them resistant to wrinkling and sagging. Wool
therefore maintains its appearance in the longer term, adding value
to the product and its lifespan. Wool is also hydrophilic—it is
highly absorbent, and retains liquids—and so dyes richly while
remaining colourfast, without the use of chemicals.
MULTI-CLIMATIC/ TRANS-SEASONAL
Thanks to its hygroscopic abilities, wool constantly reacts to changes in
body temperature, maintaining its wearer’s thermophysical comfort in
both cold and warm weather.
Natural, renewable and biodegradable, wool is the most reused and recyclable
fibre on the planet of the major apparel fibres.
EASY CARE
The protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant
to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally
anti-static. Recent innovations mean wool items are no longer
hand-wash only. Many wool products can now be machine-washed and
tumble dried.
ODOUR RESISTANT
Wool is far more efficient than other textiles at absorbing sweat and
releasing it into the air, before bacteria has a chance to develop
and produce unpleasant body odour.
A SAFE SOLUTION
Wool is naturally safe. It is not known to cause allergies and does not
promote the growth of bacteria. It can even reduce floating dust in
the atmosphere, as the fibre’s microscopic scales are able to trap
and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away. Thanks to its
high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant,
and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will
not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less
noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations. Finally, wool also
has a naturally high level of UV protection, which is much higher
than most synthetics and cotton.
