Wool is the most effective animal textile fiber to combat the winter cold. With its natural characteristics it transmits healthy well-being to our body in winter, guaranteeing perfect thermoregulation. Its most precious feature is in fact precisely that of helping our body to maintain a regular and constant temperature by avoiding sudden changes in temperature, in fact wool will never make you feel too hot.
Wool is also very breathable and has an excellent moisture absorption capacity so it lets perspiration through and we will never have the feeling of wet skin, which instead happens when wearing synthetic fleece or acrylic sweaters which create a hood on the skin .
Not a small thing, wool is dirt repellent and has the ability to self-regenerate thanks to lanolin, characteristics that make it sufficient to expose the wool to the open air to remove odors and precisely "regenerate" the garment without the need to wash it every time . In fact, we recommend washing the wool as little as possible.
For washing it is always better to do it by hand with a little delicate detergent. The wool must absolutely not be squeezed but to remove the excess water the garment must be rolled up around a towel. Reshape the garment when it is damp and always lay it flat to prevent it from becoming deformed!
Even when you keep it in the closet, it's always better to keep it folded on a shelf rather than hanging it on a hanger. With weight, wool fibers tend to stretch!
On Altramoda you will find large collections in natural wool for women and men.
