Wool products also use less energy than man-made fibres during manufacture. Sunsafe â wool has naturally high UV protection. Flame retardant â wool fibre has a higher ignition threshold than many other fibres and is flame retardant up to 600Âº C. It also produces less toxic fumes in a fire.urable and elastic â wool fibre can be bent 20,000 times without breaking and still have the power to recover and return to its natural shape.
