Wool<span class="dashicons " data-icon="" style="color:#000;display:inline;vertical-align:baseline;"></span>

Wool is protein or animal based fiber. he textile fiber obtained from sheep and other animals, including cashmere and mohair from goats. Due to decreasing demand with increased use of synthetic fibers, wool production is much less than what it was in the past. The collapse in the price of wool began in late 1966 with a 40% drop; with occasional interruptions, the price has tended down. The result has been sharply reduced production and movement of resources into production of other commodities, in the case of sheep growers, to production of meat.  Washable wool technology first appeared in the early 1970s to produce wool that has been specially treated so it is machine washable and may be tumble-dried. This wool is produced using an acid bath that removes the “scales” from the fiber, or by coating the fiber with a polymer that prevents the scales from attaching to each other and causing shrinkage. This process results in a fiber that holds longevity and durability over synthetic materials, while retaining its shape. biodegradable and flame resistant and viable for recycling.
