- Arles Sheep is a breed of sheep that produces Merino Wool, which developed in the South of France.
-
Most of the sheep are used for their milk and meat.
-
A large chunk of the wool today is wasted, as wool production has moved to Australia and South Africa where costs are lower. Breeders don’t have enough spinners buying their wool anymore, so the wool often remains unused.
-
Some small local workshops in the area still use the wool recognized for its notable curliness.
-
Like regular sheep wool, the fiber is biodegradable and comes from a renewable source.
-
It absorbs moisture without feeling wet or cold, is antibacterial and has odor-fighting properties.
-
Wool also regulates body temperature and is breathable.
- The natural crimps of wool allow the fabric to maintain its shape well and endure stretching.
