Find Out What Make Wool Itchy And How To Avoid It.

Ever wonder why wool is so itchy? It’s the chemicals! Wool is put though a process called carbonization, which is a chemical bath to clean the wool. A bath of hydrochloric acid and other chemicals and the normal scouring of soap are all used to clean the wool but all leave residues on the finished product. Sulfuric Acid is then used to remove dyes from recycled wool. These chemical residues left behind can be very harmful. The natural lanolin that keeps the wool soft is stripped away during this process making strands brittle and ragged which causes the wool to be itchy.

Premium eco-wool is wool grown in the USA within certain guidelines. Farmers in the USA are educated in farming practices that are good for the sheep and land. In return for following these practices, farmers are paid twice what they would normally receive for wool. This shows that what is good for the environment is good for the US economy since most other wool is imported from Australia and New Zealand. Premium eco-wool does not go through the carbonization process also no sheep dipping is involved. It is free of any pesticides and washed at least 5 times in hot water. Allergic reactions are rare because the wool does not contain chemicals such as formaldehyde and carbonic acid. Premium eco-wool is completely untreated of all chemicals, bleaches and dyes. There are no pesticides used in the pastures and no chemicals in the feed. Dust mites do not like the wool because it dries so quickly. Also the shearing rooms are kept clean and free of dust and dirt that may contaminate the wool. Wool will not overheat you. It is a natural insulator that helps regulate body temperature. Wool acts as a wick and pulls away moisture and dries quickly, leaving you with a comfortable sleep.
