Wool - GREASE WOOL - UNSCOURED (Not cleaned)
Natural Sheeps' Wool has always been and still is regarded as an excellent material for thermal insulation, uniting both ease of supply and practicality. It is noted for its positive effect on the human methabolism, helping blood circulation, and having a favourable effect on muscle tissues. Wool is unique in that it simultaneously offers people a whole set of very valuable consumer-related advantages, such as water-resistence, thermal insulation and at the same time airiness, so that it is practically impossible to create a satisfactory industrial substitute for wool.
We supply Grease Wool (unscoured) obtained from shorn Merino (22-26 mkm), Tsigai (28-32 mkm), Turkana (34-40 mkm).
Wool - TOPS
Wool Tops - are an intermediate product of the combing and cleaning phase of the preparation of wool, a middle stage in the preparation of worsted and carded yarn. The raw material for the production of Tops is grease wool, that is, unscoured sheepswool. During primary treatment, the grease wool is preliminarily divided, opened and any coarse organic, plant or mineral matter is removed. It is then classified according to grade and is washed. The scoured wool is then divided again and prepared for carding, that is, mechanical combing with short spikes. The actual combing (carding) production phase then follows, and consists of preparation for the combing and then the deep-combing proper, the result of which is a roving or band of wool.
Wool - SCOURED (Cleaned)
Wool is a unique material, which not only warms in the cold, but also maintains a pleasantly cool temperature in the heat. This is thanks to the structure of wool. Woolen products are airated, they "breathe" and allow the human body to breathe likewise. The secret of wool lies in the natural twist or crimp of untreated wool fibers, which leads to the creation of micro-spaces (pockets), which combine to make a layer of air, which acts as a the principal insulator against temperature changes. Products made of sheeps' wool are thus very warm thanks to the ability of the fibers tocreate this layer of air. Wool also absorbs moisture from the surrounding air and thus provides greater warmth.
