A breakthrough in merino wool technology provides year-round comfort.
Bozeman, Mont. — Duckworth,
the only single source wool apparel company in the world growing,
spinning, knitting, and sewing its fabrics 100 percent in the USA, is
proud to deliver its first patent-pending fabric VaporWool™. The new
summer fabric will be available in a variety of styles this month at
Duckworth retailers and online at Duckworthco.com.
VaporWool™ is a lightweight, fast-wicking, warm-weather wool fabric
that can be used for endurance activities where sweat management and
quick drying are critical.
Duckworth creates VaporWool™ by combining fine micron Helle
Rambouillet wool with a blend of recycled polyester and plant cellulose
from sustainable Beechwood. The result is a lightweight, highly
breathable, and ultra fast wicking fabric that works like blotting
paper. The jersey fabric delivers a natural cooling-sensation due to the
evaporation effect that kicks in during exercise.
The science behind this development is a result of early work by
Dutch physicist Johannes van der Waals. His thermodynamic research was
the basis to understanding that hydroxy molecules can affect cooling. In
this case, the reaction between wool and cellulose triggers a cooling
effect that is naturally occurring when wool (hydrophilic) absorbs
moisture and the cellulose (hydrophobic) causes evaporation.
Duckworth will use the VaporWool™ fabric in a variety of styles
including tees, tank tops, boxer briefs, hoodies, and a sleeveless
hooded T-shirt.
All Duckworth wool is source-verified from the Helle Rambouillet
ranch in the mountains of Montana. It is then carefully spun, knit, and
sewn entirely in the USA. It is shrink resistant without the use of
chemicals.
