What is the material of Icelandic wool?

Icelandic wool is a purebred sheep. In the unique environment of 1000 years, Icelandic sheep have formed unique cold resistance and disease resistance. The obvious difference between Icelandic sheep and other sheep is that Icelandic sheep are covered with thick wool all the year round, with a layer of ordinary wool more than ten centimeters thick outside and soft fluff inside.

However, because Iceland wool is expensive and not tough, it is gradually eliminated by the market and gradually replaced by acrylic Iceland wool. At present, most Icelandic wool on the market is acrylic Icelandic wool. Acrylic Icelandic wool is moderate in price, tough and light in texture.

Cleaning method of Icelandic wool:

If you wash clothes made of Icelandic wool, don't use hot water, use cold water, don't use too much detergent, and remember not to dry them or expose them to high temperature, but dry them in the shade, otherwise they will shrink badly.

Icelandic wool is characterized by its hardness, but its high density and excellent warmth retention effect, so thin clothes are very warm. Another feature of Icelandic wool is that it can't be pilled, but it often falls off, but it can't.
