Wool is a natural fiber dating all the way back to about 4000 B.C.. The unique structure of wool gives it amazing unmatched properties of resilience, durability and absorption. Wool acts like a natural thermostat for your body, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. The fibers, which are hollow, can absorb up to 30% of their own weight in moisture without feeling damp and at the same time repel water from a spill or rain.

Following a few simple tips will provide you with continued wearing enjoyment.

• Give wools a 24-hour rest between wearing to shed wrinkles and to "breathe".
• Brush napped garments frequently.
• Follow the care label for garment cleaning.
• Prevent stretching in knitwear by folding in a drawer, instead of hanging.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Clean wool garments before off-season storage.
