Putting Safety First�
Personal safety and the safety of loved ones or the general public is all about choosing wisely . We live in a world where there are more risks — many of which are not visible to the eye — and less time to deal with them .

Flame resistant
The high nitrogen and water content of wool means that it is able to resist flame — it does not ignite easily and will often self-extinguish as there is not enough oxygen in the air to allow it to burn . Additionally , wool does not emit the noxious fumes that can be so lethal in a fire and neither does it melt or drip , which can damage the skin . This natural safety is the reason wool is chosen by the hospitality and contract sector to use in public buildings and endorsed by fire protection services across the world . �
