There aren't many things that go together as well as wool and winter. The fibre is strong, soft and warm making it perfect for long lasting and high quality commercial upholstery. The beauty of wool is that is dynamic for all seasons, it has balanced thermal insulation properties - meaning it is warmer in winter and cool in the summer. |

The wool that we use is only sourced from Australia. It is a rapidly renewable eco wool yarn which has been independently tested and audited at all stages of production to comply with EU eco label criteria. An important factor when designing is health and cleanliness of fabric, especially in ensuring a space is fit for the winter months. Wool is perfect for this as it is hypoallergenic - it is resistant to bacteria, mould and mildew that can trigger allergic reactions in many people. Wool absorbs harmful pollutants from the air and it doesn’t re-emit them. Using wool in interiors can actually help cleanse the air and the wool we use is certified low VOC. All our fabric come with a 12 year warranty and being wool it means that the health and cleanliness of the fabric will also stand the test of time. |

Dust mites don't like wool, they need moisture to survive and wool maintains a drier environment. Microscopic pores in wool respond effectively to any minor changes in humidity making it quite unfavourable for the breeding and growth of the house dust mite. | | |
