I heard wool absorbs water, why is that a good thing?Updated 2 months ago

Wool actively manages Humidity

Wool fibers are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb and release water vapor. In fact, wool can hold up to 33% of its weight in moisture while still feeling dry. By trapping moisture inside the fiber, where mold spores can’t reach, wool helps regulate humidity in your wall cavity and living space.

Havelock Wool, made of protein-based keratin, is naturally mold resistant. Its fibers have overlapping cuticle cells that repel water, leaving little surface moisture for mold to grow.
