Wool or felt hat?
The cozy comfort that wool provides will never go out of style. When you touch wool felt fabric against your skin, you'll immediately notice its beautiful texture. Additionally, wool's durability makes most people prefer it over other materials.
Despite this, how much do you know about wools?
Currently, manufacturers use cotton and synthetic fibers most commonly worldwide. However, these materials don't perform well, resist repairs poorly, and harm the environment more than wool.
Wool creates high-quality, durable, comfortable, and beautiful products. Farmers and manufacturers consider land and biodiversity from the raw material stage on farms through cleaner wool processes and technologies.
Farmers grow natural fibers like wool and cotton on farms. This makes it easy to measure and account for land, water, energy, and other resources needed for fiber production. You can also track the waste that enters air and water systems.
However, synthetic fiber production uses oil that doesn't leave an environmental "footprint" because large amounts of trees, land, and greenhouse gases created this oil long ago. Since textile fiber production uses different system boundaries, people often rate renewables lower than nonrenewables.
