Wool has been cherished for millennia thanks to its unique properties. It breathes, insulates, repels moisture, and regulates temperature. Wool is self-cleaning, fire-resistant, and biodegradable. As far back as ancient Mesopotamia, sheep were raised for their wool. Wool provides comfort, warmth, and beauty, with added health benefits, such as easing muscle pain and promoting better sleep. It helps you fall asleep more easily and is perfect year-round, staying warm in winter and cool in summer. Wool is ideal for every season.

1. warmth and softness
Wool comes from sheep, one of the first domesticated animals. Originating in the Middle East, they quickly spread worldwide. Wool gained popularity early on for its warmth and softness. In Europe, countries like Denmark, Britain, and Spain flourished thanks to the wool trade, which played a pivotal role in the economy during the Middle Ages as a key material for textiles and trade.

2. light and breathable
Despite its thick texture, wool fibers are light and airy. They can absorb more moisture than other materials, keeping you warm or cool depending on the season. In summer, wool allows airflow and absorbs moisture to keep you cool, while in winter, it shields you from the cold. Wool is ideal for indoor and outdoor use all year round.3. moisture regulation
Wool excels at managing moisture. It can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or heavy. This makes it comfortable in both warm and cold conditions. In hot climates, wool wicks moisture away from your skin, allowing it to evaporate. Its breathability also helps reduce odors, making it perfect for blankets and throws.

4. hypoallergenic
Wool is naturally hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for people with allergies or sensitive skin. It rarely causes irritation and offers comfort to those with asthma or eczema. Wool also resists dust mites, which can cause respiratory issues, and absorbs harmful substances like VOCs, creating a clean environment.

5. durable and strong
Wool is a long-lasting sustainable natural material that retains its shape and quality even with frequent use. It is renewable, as sheep are shorn annually. Additionally, wool has a low environmental impact, as it can absorb CO₂ from the air and is biodegradable.

6. biodegradable
Wool is an eco-friendly choice as it naturally decomposes, returning nutrients to the soil. Unlike toxic synthetic materials, it has no harmful impact on the environment and breaks down much more quickly.

7. sustainable and eco-friendly
Wool retains its beauty, color, and luster over time. At By Mölle, we use wool from sheep raised sustainably with organic farming methods. Choosing wool supports farmers committed to animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

8. easy to maintain
Wool is low-maintenance and doesn’t require frequent washing. Its natural grease, lanolin, allows it to self-clean. Simply hang wool throws outside for a few hours to freshen them or place them in the bathroom while you shower. If washing is needed, use the wool program on your washing machine at a maximum of 30°C. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
