Lamb's wool are the best for newborns. Wool are like babies, they are both soft, embraceable and wonderful.
Science have yet to discover how to replicate the most multifaceted of all fabrics, wool. The history of who founded the uses of wool from sheep is unknown. I can only imagine it must have been a mother living in an extreme climate of cold, and by watching these amazing creatures got the idea that it would also keep her baby warm and dry. It was in 500 BC when a few of the basic and top woolen textiles were found in a colony in Greece. However the oldest woolen cloth still in existence ages back to fifteen centuries BC that was created in a Danish marshland.
Sheep were able to adapt to their extreme environment through weaving their perfect and complex wool. Wool is a wonderful material. Sheep are protected from extreme cold or heat because of their tough wicker fleece coat. 25% of the wool's weight can hold moisture. The external cells of the fiber resist water at the same time the internal cells suck in moisture. Because of its humid nature, it doesn't catch fire. It keeps the person wearing it warm because it does not dry up fast. It is the lanolin - fat - in the wool that causes it to shed water. Wool resists dust mites and bacteria as well, and has a natural disinfectant. The wool's positive features make it a perfect fabric for baby garments, bedspreads and crib covers. And because of its absorbent nature, wool will take on dyes revealing richer, deeper colors. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina are countries that largely supply wool.
From the start, sheep's 'hair' was not as the thick wool fleece that it is now. It was coarse more like a deer or goat. It's form has developed into what it is today through domestication. It was around 10,000 BC that West Asians started domesticating sheep. Once, as ordinary as they must have been, sheep were one of Babylon's treasures. They were nurtured to produce food, milk and cheese. They spent thousands of years reproducing sheep with the best hair in an attempt that the hair can be spun into a fiber. However, roughly 5,000 B.C., people spun for garments. Between 3000 and 1000 BC, the Persians, Greeks and Romans were accountable of the sheep proliferation all through Europe. The original wool factory was inaugurated in 50 A.D. in Winchester England. England's wool textiles export comprised two thirds of its overseas trade by the year 1660.
As the production expanded, the wool spinning assignment was given to the eldest unmarried daughter, hence where the word 'spinster' derived. It wrapped around a rod called 'weasel' as the yarn spun, that created a rolling, exploding noise. Recognize it? That is where the term 'Pop Goes the Weasel' came from. However, it was innovations like the spinning jenny that tossed the industry forward.
Pamper your baby with the softness and comfort of natural wool blankets and crib covers (they even make baby car seat covers). We are no different from the first mothers long ago who sought the best means to protect and care for their children - as mothers, that is what we do, and as a grandmother, you can be sure my grandbaby has a wool fleece blanket in her crib and one for the floor, and traveling. What a beautiful site seeing her sleeping so soundly and peacefully surrounded by one of nature's most wonderful fabrics.
