🐑 Wool in Unlikely Places

🎾 Did you know tennis balls contain wool?

The iconic yellow felt covering a tennis ball is made from a blend of wool and nylon. Wool is chosen for its durability, resilience and performance, helping deliver the consistent speed, bounce and flight that players rely on.

Around 300 million tennis balls are produced every year, each using wool as part of their outer felt.

So, the next time you watch a rally at Wimbledon, remember there’s wool in every shot.

If only there was a little more wool in some of the players’ outfits... after all, wool is one of nature’s greatest performance fibres. 🐑🎾

Hot weather? Reach for wool! 🫠

It might sound surprising, but wool isn't just for winter.

Amazing facts about wool:

• Wool is naturally breathable, helping your body stay comfortable in both warm and cool weather.
• It can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, helping to keep you dry on hot days.
• Wool fibres naturally regulate body temperature, keeping you cooler in the heat and warmer in the cold.
• It's odour-resistant, meaning it stays fresher for longer—even during summer adventures.
• Wool is a renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable natural fibre, making it a great choice for both you and the environment.

Whether you're enjoying a sunny walk, relaxing in the garden, or heading out for the day, lightweight wool clothing and accessories can help keep you comfortable naturally.

Don't let the word "wool" fool you—it's a fibre for every season! 😁
