FAQ

What is sheep wool fabric?

Our fabric is made from 100% shorn sheep wool, knitted into a nylon grid for strength and shape retention, then stabilized with a medical‑grade acrylic compound for washability. This ensures the body lies on pure wool fibre — not hide — while meeting IPAC guidelines.

Why a nylon grid?

  • Prevents fraying
  • Maintains shape better than cotton or wool alone
  • Similar to nylon reinforcement in wool socks
  • Renewable and sustainable

Why an acrylic stabilizer?

  • Developed in Germany for high‑standard washability
  • Used safely for decades with no reported allergies
  • Allows full machine washability to 70°C
  • Ensures long‑term durability

How does wool help with pressure injuries?

Wool distributes weight evenly, reduces pressure points, and stabilizes temperature — key factors in preventing ulcers and supporting healing.

Is wool good for night sweats?

Yes. Wool absorbs moisture without feeling wet and releases it into the air, keeping sleepers dry — especially helpful for menopausal night sweats.

Is this the same as sheepskin?

No.

  • Sheepskin = hide + wool attached
  • Sheep wool fabric = shorn wool fibre knitted into a backing
    Our products use sheep wool fabric, making them washable, breathable, and humane.

Why Wool?

Wool is one of nature’s most advanced performance fibres, breathable, durable, and exceptionally comfortable. It creates a stable, balanced sleep environment that works for all types of sleepers, all year round.

Temperature Regulation

Wool naturally keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It adapts to your body temperature, making it ideal for hot sleepers, cold sleepers, and couples with different comfort needs.

Moisture Management

Wool absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. It pulls humidity away from the skin and releases it into the air, keeping bedding dry, fresh, and comfortable through the night.

Naturally Clean

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial. It resists odour, mildew, and bacteria, staying fresher longer and requiring less washing than synthetic bedding.

Pressure‑Soft Comfort

Wool fibres gently cushion the body, reducing pressure points and helping muscles relax. This creates a softer, more forgiving sleep surface that supports deeper rest.

Breathable & Non‑Clammy

Unlike foam or polyester, wool never traps heat or moisture. It stays breathable and comfortable, preventing the “hot and sticky” feeling common with synthetic bedding.

Renewable & Sustainable

Wool is a renewable fibre shorn from sheep annually. It’s biodegradable, long‑lasting, and produced with far less environmental impact than synthetic materials.

Humane Alternative to Sheepskin

Our products use sheep wool fabric, not sheepskin.

  • Sheepskin = hide + wool
  • Sheep wool fabric = shorn wool fibre knitted into a backing

This makes our products washable, breathable, and humane, the sheep keep their hide, and the wool grows back naturally.

 

Sheep Wool Strips — Natural Protection for Skin Folds & Moisture Control

Breathable Wool • Moisture‑Wicking • Gentle Support for Delicate Skin

Sheep Wool Strips offer a simple, natural, and highly effective way to protect sensitive skin folds from moisture, friction, and irritation. Made from premium sheep wool, these soft, breathable strips help regulate temperature, wick away moisture, and keep the skin dry, creating a healthier environment for delicate areas.

Wool absorbs 30–40% of its weight in moisture, pulling humidity away from the skin and releasing it into the air. This prevents the dampness that leads to redness, maceration, bacterial growth, and skin breakdown. Synthetic materials trap heat and moisture, but wool maintains the perfect balance of airflow, temperature, and dryness.

Available in three thicknesses and 1‑meter lengths, Sheep Wool Strips can be easily cut and customized for any area of the body. Place them gently in skin folds to reduce friction, prevent rubbing, and support long‑term skin health.


Benefits

  • Absorbs 30–40% moisture to keep skin dry

  • Naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial

  • Reduces friction and irritation in skin folds

  • Regulates temperature to prevent heat buildup

  • Soft, breathable, and gentle on sensitive skin

  • Available in 3 thicknesses for customizable comfort

  • Sold in 1‑meter lengths for easy cutting and placement


Ideal For

  • Skin folds where moisture collects

  • Under the breasts

  • Abdominal folds

  • Groin folds

  • Under arms

  • Behind knees

  • Any area prone to rubbing, sweating, or irritation

Sheep Wool Strips help maintain a healthy skin environment by balancing moisture and airflow, making them an excellent choice for daily comfort and long‑term skin protection.


What Is Sheep Wool Fabric?

Our wool fabric is made from:

  • Real wool fibres (sheared from the sheep)

  • A soft nylon grid

  • A medical‑grade acrylic stabilizer


  • Care Instructions

    • Machine wash on delicate in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C)

    • Use wool soap with lanolin (e.g., Eucalan)

    • Air dry or tumble with no heat

    • Remove from dryer at about 85% dry

    • Spot clean with warm water Eucalan soap 

    • Avoid bleach, high heat, and direct sunlight

    Wool is naturally antimicrobial and doesn’t require frequent washing. To freshen, hang outside in moist air (out of direct sunlight); the wool will release moisture and self‑refresh.

The wool is “knitted” into the grid and stabilized to create a flat, plush surface that looks like sheepskin,  but without the hide, making it washable, breathable, and ideal for sensitive‑skin applications.

    Renewable & Sustainable

  • 100% Natural
  • Biodegradable
  • Naturally Breathable
  • Wrinkle Resistant
  • 100% Renewable
100% Natural

Wool is a completely natural fiber, produced year-round by over 68 million sheep in Australia. These sheep thrive on a simple diet of grass, water, fresh air, and sunshine.

Biodegradable

Once wool fibers are discarded, they naturally break down in soil within a few years, gradually returning beneficial nutrients to the ground.

Naturally Breathable

Merino wool is highly breathable, with fibers that can absorb significant amounts of moisture vapor and release it into the air through evaporation.

Wrinkle Resistant

On a microscopic scale, each Merino wool fiber acts like a tiny spring, bouncing back to its original shape after being bent. This natural elasticity helps Merino garments resist wrinkling.

100% Renewable

Australian sheep grow a new fleece annually, making wool a fully renewable natural fiber.
