Wool that itches!

Hey you! Are you someone with sensitive skin who's always looking for the best materials to feel comfortable? Then you've come to the right place! This text is about wool and how it affects sensitive skin.

Which wool is good for sensitive skin?

Wool is a natural material produced by sheep. It has many advantages, including breathability, insulation, and durability. However, it can also cause skin irritation, especially if it is coarse or scratchy wool.

But don't worry, there are ways you can enjoy wool even if you have sensitive skin. One option is to look for merino wool. Merino wool is softer and finer than regular wool and is often referred to as "sensitive skin" wool. It's hypoallergenic and can help reduce skin irritation.

Another option is to look for wool with a lower micron count. A micron is the unit of measurement used to measure the thickness of wool fibers. The lower the micron count, the finer and softer the wool. A micron count of 18 or lower is often considered suitable for sensitive skin.
