Ullfrotté original
Ullfrotté Original is made exclusively of fine
Merino wool with a fiber diameter of 22 microns.
Ullfrotté Original is marked with the Merino symbol –
extra fine wool fiber - a guarantee for high quality raw
material. In addition, all packages are marked with a
micron counter that shows the average fiber diameter in
the raw wool.
Fibre diameter
determines quality and price
Throughout the industry a low micron count has
become almost synonymous with high quality. Market
demand is for increasingly lightweight garments with the
highest possible comfort, and buyers will pay up to 20
times more for fine-textured wool than for coarser
types.
Insulation
Wool terry cloth contains up to 80% air, which binds
to the kinky fiber. The air forms an insulating layer
along the skin and prevents heat from escaping. In
addition, the air bound in the terry cloth loops creates
a double thermal effect. Ullfrotté Original has the
highest insulation level for protection from both heat
and cold.
Moisture
Garments made of Ullfrotté Original are not only
warm but also wick moisture from the skin and allow
water vapor to pass through the wool fiber – without
losing their thermal properties. The ability to wick
moisture facilitates heat ventilation during physical
activity, keeping the body dry and maintaining the
thermal balance. Ullfrotté Original is designed to allow
ventilation of surplus heat through an adjustable
opening at the neck.
Odor
Studies show that the wool fiber’s ability to absorb
and neutralize unpleasant odors is far superior to that
of other textiles. Through its chemical composition wool
can neutralize bodily substances which give rise to
unpleasant odors, a considerable advantage when the
opportunities for washing are limited. |
