Organic, chlorine-free, washable wool. This knit (jersey or interlock) fabric is made with low-micron merino wool grown and cerified to the USDA’s National Organic Program standard and processed to the Oeko-Tex 100 standard through the shrink treatment process. This organic washable wool is offered as 100% wool or a blend of 55% wool and 45% organic cotton. Under a microscope, raw wool fiber appears to be covered in scales. These scales are gently removed through a process that uses non-toxic hydrogen peroxide. Compared to most washable wool which is scoured with chlorine to remove the scales and coated with synthetic resins, this process leaves the wool with a soft hand, strong fibers, naturally shrink and odor resistant, has superior moisture management and is insulative. Sold in rolls 50 yd (45.72 m) in length with a range of widths from 58 to 65 in (1473.2 to 1651 mm) and weights of 150, 230 or 250 g/m2 (4.425, 6.785 or 7.375 oz/yd2).

The zig-zag structure of the paper, in fact, gives a strong form of rigidity (increased by the treatment to which the resin sheets are submitted) together with an effective "cushion" gave elasticity of folded sheets.
