For wool
#1. WOOL HAS NATURAL UV PROTECTION

Sheep wool has a natural UV protection factor of up to 30+!  Wool naturally absorbs the suns UV rays before it can make contact with your skin; by wearing wool you will be protected against the sun harmful rays.

 

#2. WOOL HAS ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES

The thin waxy coating of wool fibre contains fatty acids that inhibit the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.  The same coating repels water that can cause mildew and mold to grow. This means that woolen items do not need regular washing and will smell fresh after repeated use, unlike synthetic fibres.

For silk
low density makes for light and comfortable clothing.

high resistance to deformation.

good insulation properties / warm in winter, cool in summer.
