Wool, once considered rough and stiff, has been transformed by technological advances. Gone are the memories of heavy and “itchy” blankets at our grandmothers’! Today, wool is synonymous with lightness, softness and comfort. And even better: it is now machine washable to adapt to our modern lifestyles.
The secret of its transformation
Using an innovative process called needling , the wool is transformed into a fine, dense and resistant sheet. This weaving, carried out in two directions with long needles, allows for an even distribution, without empty areas. This sheet is then placed in a soft cotton satin envelope, giving the duvet a long-lasting puffiness and a perfect hold.
Why choose wool over feathers?
Wool offers benefits that few materials can match:
- Elasticity and durability : The crimped structure of wool fiber allows it to retain its spring and shape for years, where feathers can sag and create cold spots.
- Cleanliness and hygiene : Unlike feathers, which produce dust as they age, wool remains healthy and hypoallergenic.
- Easy maintenance : With a specific treatment, the wool becomes machine washable (wool program at 30°C), making its maintenance simple and practical.
An ethical and responsible choice
Taking care of sheep also involves shearing them annually, a necessary step for their well-being. Wool is a renewable natural resource, unlike goose feathers that are often plucked from living animals. By choosing wool, you are opting for a solution that respects nature and animals, while supporting ethical and sustainable practices.
