NON WOVENS FROM WOOL

Ecological Textiles wool fleece

These non woven insulation products contain from 85-100% wool fibres, which results in a very functional wadding. Some of these nonwovens are made from pure new wool, in others up to 15% of PLA (made from corn) is added, which connects the wool fibres on countless spots and makes it easier to achieve a good cohesion. These nonwovens are robust but soft and comfortable for all kinds of textiles and bedding products. The high percentage of virgin wool ensures a high performance level in the areas of insulation, temperature regulation, moisture management and odour resistance.

They can be used as a strong and long lasting filling for different kinds of fashion and outdoor garments, e.g. in active apparel, sleeping bags, puffy winter jackets, parkas.

Breathable

Wool can absorb and release up to 30-36% of its dry weight without feeling damp or clammy. This makes these non-wovens highly breathable, quick drying and they keep the user warm. This high moisture absorbing capacity is thirty times as much as polyester. Wool absorbs moisture from the atmosphere of greater humidity and releases it to the drier environment. This makes wool a perfect temperature regulator that keeps us warm in the cold and provides a cooling effect when it's warm.

At the same time wool is naturally water and dirt repellent. It provides us with an unmatched wearing comfort.

The wool

This  wool from which these materials are made, comes exclusively from European sheep, that graze in Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Swiss and Austrian Alps and Iceland. The wool is animal friendly and mulesing free. The sheep are always kept in such a way that their body functions and behavior are not disturbed, lodgings and enclosures are provided with suitable feeding and drinking, areas of rest and retreat. The production is done in several factories in Europe.
