a reputable name for itself as a premium New Zealand Tannery. Look closer at
their product range and one will find a vast array of unique and functional
wool accessories. All have been designed with your comfort in mind and all
provide additional benefits which wool is renowned for.
Wool is one of the most functional
and unique natural fibers known to us. It has a multitude of qualities which
set it apart from most other fibers including Silk and Cotton. Being highly
resilient and durable; wool fiber has the ability to bend back on itself over
20,000 times without breaking. In addition to the added crimp and ultra-springy
like make-up of the individual fibers means wool underlays and medical
sheepskins in particular can act like a type of ‘therapeutic cushion’. Making
them effective in providing pressure point relief found on the body for the
user.
Wool is a
natural insulator and can help self-regulate one’s body temperature during both
colder climates and hotter or humid temperatures. Wool has the ability trap air
within and between its fibers and this trapped air helps to insulate the user from
the underlying surface. The body is thus kept at a consistent and even
temperature keeping the user cooler in humid conditions and near body
temperature as it gets colder.
Wool can
also absorb a great deal of moisture and can absorb up to 30-40% of its own
weight in moisture alone. Wool’s ability to absorb and wick away moisture from the
skin helps keep the skin dry this helps towards the prevention of pressure/bed
sores and also the breakdown of skin cells particularly for those infirmed and bed
ridden for extended periods of time.
Wool does
not have to be treated to become inflammable and it will not support a flame; being
a hypoallergenic
fiber it is kind to sensitive skins and to those with rashes and other dermatitis conditions.
Mother Nature
has blessed us with a versatile and special natural fiber which tannery
professionals such as Classic Sheepskins can transform into high functioning
and highly comfortable wool products and accessories. Whether you are looking
for a comfortable wool slipper, car seat cover or a medical sheepskin/underlay; Classic Sheepskins has successfully created such products and many more.
