The origins of wool
Traces of wool can be found in Asia Minor as far back as the Stone Age. It appears in Europe 9500 years ago. Wool developed a lot from the 13th century, when its trade exploded in a large part of Europe. The wool industry continued to develop until the 18th century, when competition from cotton overshadowed it.
Worldwide production
Sheep wool is produced in more than a hundred countries, including China (480,000 tons), Australia, New Zealand (165,000 tons), United Kingdom and Iran (60,000 tons). France is far behind with a production of only 15,000 tons per year.
Benefits
Wool has the advantage of being totally renewable and biodegradable. It is produced all year round by nearly a billion sheep, which produce 2.1 million tonnes per year. It is a universal fiber found in most of the usual applications of textile materials: clothing, furnishings, technology.
