β’ Wool flourishes where there is rain and sunshine. These two elements sustain the grassy fields that sheep graze on. Shearers shave off the wool every year before the weather gets too hot. Wool is the ultimate renewable fibre.
β’ Wool from about 61 sheep extend all the way from the earth to the moon.
β’ Wool may be made from mixtures of hair from sheep, alpaca, llama, camel, cashmere, mohair, angora, vicuna, yak, guanaco, beaver or otter. No animals are harmed in the harvesting of wool.
β’ Wool is flame-resistant. It will not melt and stick to your skin like synthetic fibres. Instead, wool will usually smoulder and extinguish itself when the source of the flame has been removed. The fibre of choice for casinos and airlines.
β’ The fastest recorded time to shear a sheep is 39.31 seconds by Hilton Barrett of Australia.
β’ Wool is composed of same protein that makes up the outer protective layer of your skin.
β’ Have you ever wondered why your wool socks withstand foot stench longer than cotton or synthetic socks? Wool is naturally mildew and mould resistant because it is a natural moisture repellent, MEANING LESS STINK. Wool also reduces dust mite activity (they do not like wool!).
β’ Over its lifetime, a sheepβs fleece will absorb approximately 30Kg of carbon dioxide.
β’ Renewable, recyclable, and naturally biodegradable; choosing wool minimizes the amount of waste that sits in landfills. Wool biodegrades in weeks to less than 1 year depending on environmental conditions. This is due to its high nitrogen content.
β’ Wool products can last for 15 to 20 years (or more)
β’ Wool can absorb indoor contaminants, including formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and locks them away in the fibre core. It is naturally soil and stain resistant, attracts less dirt and dust due to anti-static properties and requires less cleaning than synthetic fabrics.
β’ Wool fibres have a crimped texture so when itβs packed more tightly together lots of tiny pockets of air form. This structure means that it can absorb and release wick away moisture, allowing your skin to breathe so you feel fresh as a daisy.
β’ Due to its crimped structure, wool is naturally elastic, and so wool garments have the ability to stretch to your shape but can then return to their original state. It is also resistant to tearing and requires less processing to make it useable.
β’ Woolβs high nitrogen and water content makes it naturally flame resistant. Wool does not ignite easily and will self-extinguish. Should wool burn it does not melt while burning. Wool produces less smoke and toxic fumes during combustion than synthetic fibres, making it a far safer choice.

He is like a ferrill cat sitting on a fence waiting to pounce. He is extremely rude to her at every interview and before Jacinda has a chance to answer one of his pre loaded questions he cuts her off and fires another question at her and if he doesn't get the answer he requires so he can be in the position of " got ya" he ramps up his rudeness. Recently he couldn't get a rise out of Chris Hipkins in an interview so he went to an ad break without even thanking Chris for being on his show and that was the end of the interview. I wonder if the Producers of the show ever listen to him.
By comparrision he never treated our past Prime Minister in that manner in an interview. Imagine Mike Hoskings living in America at the moment, he obviously does not appreciate the position we are in re Covid compared to most other countries in the world.
