A sustainable, renewable fibre, helping both man and sheep to acclimate and effortlessly adjust to changes in the environment. Aclima give away the left-over fabric to for example a company who produces punching balls for boxing. The dye-works they use have closed systems to reduce emission of wastewater, and in addition they work with ISO 14001 (environmental management system).

Wool is a natural “high-tec” fibre and possesses a number of advantages, such as its ability to uptake and release moisture vapour up to 36% of its dry weight, while being water-repellent at the same time. Wool is a renewable resource, as you wait till the wool has grown back and then cut it again. It is also biodegradable because the hair is made up of proteins, which are yummy treats for insects and microbes.
