The Versatility of Wool: From Sheep to Fashion

Two-thirds of the wool produced is used to make clothing, a testament to the fiber’s versatility and durability. Wool is valued for its natural warmth, breathability, and resilience, making it a preferred material for various garments, from winter coats to fine suits.

The wool industry is an important part of agriculture, particularly in regions where sheep farming is prevalent. The ability of sheep to produce wool each year without harming the animal ensures a sustainable supply of this valuable material, supporting both the fashion industry and farmers' livelihoods.
