Wool has a very complex chemical and physical structure, which corresponds to high natural fiber properties. Wool is one of the most amazing materials and a design masterpiece that can never be replicated in a factory. Wool is a complex, natural and biodegradable protein fiber that can be regenerated and recycled. It has established environmental benefits and this is a natural fiber grown without the use of any herbicides or fertilizers.
