Humphrey Law Australian made "natural" socks are knitted with raw undyed yarn. No dyes or chemicals are used in the finishing process meaning there are significant advantages to the environment: 1. Pollution caused in the manufacture and application of dye is avoided. 2. Natural socks use about 1/4 the amount of water compared to a black sock in the manufacturing process. 3.Less energy is used in the manufacture of natural socks. Plus solar panels on the roof of the Humphrey Law factory generate half of their electricity. So, every second sock produced is powered by the sun A perfect gift idea for a Father's Day, easy to package and post.

💧 A fascinating insight into the importance of effective wicking properties in cloth used for Firefighters Uniforms, as displayed by Hainsworth Protective Fabrics. 💧 Using our WickView Moisture Management Tester, Hainsworth Protective Fabrics have found that their ECO-DRY cloth, which contains Merino Wool, shows better signs of wicking compared to a similar textile meta-aramid blend. It is by using technology such as our WickView, that we get more comprehensive data on how a fabric behaves when exposed to water, which thus informs how cloth such as this is produced to have the most safety conscious design choices.

How does Merino Wool help to keep wildland firefighters safe? Recent testing has found that ECO-DRY, woven with Merino Wool, provided far superior moisture-wicking properties than a similar textile made solely from manmade meta-aramids. It’s crucial that wildland PPE wicks away sweat, helping to prevent firefighters from overheating and risking their and others’ lives. Our tests show that ECO-DRY adsorbed water while the 100% meta-aramid blend fabric didn’t allow any liquid to pass through the textile. Thank you to James Heal for their assistance.

In this post you will find a good debate in which the benefits of each material are pointed out according to the applications.
I could write an essay explaining why wool out-performs other fibres but we only have your attention for five seconds. Here is wool and next to it Polyamide. Man has not yet engineered a material that comes close to the many many benefits of wool. #wool #natural #material #diagram #benefits #textiles #carpets #plastic #fibre

Just got back from a little beach vacation with my whole family. Our plastic-free, merino wool fleece hoodies were perfect for when the sun went down - breathable, cozy and thermodynamic - with the added bonus of not shedding microplastic fibers into the ocean. Did you know that textiles are the largest known source of marine microplastic pollution (https://lnkd.in/g7XN4VvD.)? Washing synthetic garments releases microfibers and the waste water from our washing machines makes its way into the ocean where it causes a host of problems. One example being that it ends up accumulating in the fish we eat and thus accumulating in us! The other benefit of merino wool is that it is naturally anti-microbial and requires little washing. I made a care guide (https://lnkd.in/gwSUxcvx) that applies to all your wool garments, not just our fleece.

🐑 Understanding Why Wool Shrinks and How to Prevent It 🐑 Did you know? Wool shrinkage is all about the fibres reacting to changes in temperature and movement. This happens because wool’s natural fibres can tighten up when agitated during washing and drying. Preventing Shrinkage: Keep your wool items looking as good as new with these tips: 🚿 Hand Washing: Always use cool water and make sure to rinse with water at the same temperature to avoid shocking the fibres, which can lead to shrinkage. 🫧 Machine Washing: Before choosing to machine wash, consider your machine’s history with delicate items. Remember, no two wool cycles are alike and machines vary significantly in how gently they treat wool. ❌ Avoid the dryer: Lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Unsure? Go professional: If in doubt, dry cleaning is your best bet for maintaining the beauty and integrity of your wool items.
