Why does some wool itch while others don't?

The finer the wool, the fewer cilia it has and therefore the less likely it is to itch. Most wool on the market today is finished, so it's a myth that wool itches. However, there can be differences in how sensitive you are. 

Do you find that wool itches? Then we recommend that you wear the item for 10-15 minutes until it reaches body temperature. When the wool has warmed up to body temperature, many people find that the itchy feeling disappears. Fortunately, we get a lot of good and positive feedback on our own Byhappyme quality from our customers. Many even say that the quality is surprisingly soft and comfortable to wear.
