Wool can absorb water vapor inside the fiber, but the surface repels water. It can absorb up to a third of its dry weight in water without feeling damp. In addition, it wicks moisture away from the body much faster than e.g. e.g. cotton. Wool insulates well against both cold and heat. It adapts to the shape of the body, is dirt-repellent and has a temperature-regulating effect. Wool doesn't stink (even after wearing it for a long time) and therefore needs to be washed less often. It cools through evaporative cooling in warm temperatures and also warms when it is damp (actively generates heat when it absorbs moisture) and keeps its shape and hardly creases. Wool is flame retardant (unlike other fibers such as synthetics), has a natural SPF of up to 50 (depending on density and weave), does not charge static (unlike synthetic materials) and most importantly, is biodegradable.

When selecting our wool products, we make sure that our suppliers are GOTS-certified. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognized as the world's leading standard for the processing of textiles made from organically produced natural fibers. It defines environmental requirements along the entire textile production chain at a high level and at the same time demands compliance with social criteria. Furthermore, we attach particular importance to kbT (controlled organic animal husbandry) This is not primarily about the pastures, but about the treatment of the animals themselves.

When it comes to wool, you should always follow the care instructions on the wash label, as there are differences depending on the quality of the wool.

Both types of wool (merino and new wool) have self-cleaning properties, which is why it is often sufficient to air the garments. If there is visible soiling, you can wash the area by hand in cold water without rubbing it too much.

If you want to wash wool, it is important to note that wool has a high fat content of its own and needs it to retain its properties. Therefore, wool should not be left in the water for a long time. Be careful not to wring the garment as it may deform. Better: roll it up briefly in a towel and lay it flat on a new towel on the drying rack to dry, but not in the sun or on the radiator! Tip: Use burp cloths as protection when you are breastfeeding your baby, later use bibs when your baby eats his porridge. This way you avoid food getting stuck in the fibers and additional washing.

Wool & silk adapts to almost every situation and every temperature. In winter and when it's cold, wool warms you up. In summer and during physical exertion, the silk cools and the wool wicks excess heat to the outside. In addition, the body is better protected from UV radiation when exposed to the sun than with conventional cotton clothing.

Use cold water and a special wool detergent. Be careful not to wring the garment as it may deform. Better: roll it up briefly in a towel and lay it flat on a new towel on the drying rack to dry, but not in the sun or on the radiator!
