Colloquially speaking, to deceive someone is to pull the wool over a person’s eyes. On the other hand, one way to keep cool in the hot summer months is simply to attire woolen or silken fabric. However, in the cold of winter months, only the wools can alternately serve as to keep the body warm. Before the industrial revolution of cotton gins and synthetic nylon fibers, wools were the worldwide preferred clothing materials when sheer nylon stockings still do not exist. This was more so for sheepherders at northern and southern latitudes. Consequently, the flexibility of cotton and synthetic nylon fibers, which are cheaper to produce and quicker turnaround time from raw materials to finished end products of a developing textile industry, the demand for wool has declined ever since. Nonetheless, the unique properties of wools: lightweight and breath-ability can hardly be imitated.

Microscopic examination of the fleece will clearly reveal microfiber pooling and weaving at the molecular magnetic domains. The same pooled insulating property shared by penguins, seals, and whales as warm-blooded mammals of the frigid arctic and Antarctic seas. In contrast to bioelectricity, this is the property of biomagnetism.

For the earth, its geomagnetism shields it from the harmful radiations of cosmic rays and ultraviolet rays from interstellar region and from the sun. In addition, geomagnetism working together with the planet’s atmosphere keeps heat from escaping. In a sense, the pool cool wool of a planet is its atmosphere, where and when the different beneficial gases pool together either to cool or to warm its surface.

Hi Antonio;

For my money my suits, sports coats and overcoats, have always been 100% wool, casmir. or camel hair.
Mostly wool because while warm in the winter it's comfortable in the summer, especially when it's thread count exceeds 100.

I do where 100% cotton shirts however. Never ever polyester.
It's wearing an oil byproduct on you. This is also true for my socks.

The wool institute can make the check payable to toequest.

Best to you,

Pat

I always find wool itchy. However I agree about the cotton. But oil, after all, is only a compressed primeval forest, its made from hydrocarbons, the same derivatives of which we are made.

But whenever I am travelling outback I always carry a dress shirt made from 'microfibre'. I am not sure what it is composed of, but you can screw it up and pack it into a cigarette box, then take it out and put it on and it hasn't got a crease in it. Famous people have asked me for the name of my tailor ...

Out there the temperatures reach 50 C and for most of the summer its over 40 C. Yet the microfibre does not make you sweat, and at night when the temperatures can plummet you do not field cold.

Have you ever heard of it?

(sorry if I'm a bit off track Antonio )

There must be a relationship between magnetic domains and materials, for example wool, that can regulate changes in temperature. I called this biomagnetism but I don't understand how they work?

[Profpat]

Could it have something to do with static electricity, AntanioLao ?

Best,

It appears that my microfibre shirt is made from a dishcloth ... LOL

From the Wiki .... Microfiber (British spelling: Microfibre) is fiber with strands less than one denier. Microfiber is a blend of polyester and polyamide. Fabrics made with microfibers are exceptionally soft and hold their shape well. When high quality microfiber is combined with the right knitting process, it creates an extremely effective cleaning material. This material can hold up to seven times its weight in water. They are also used for some cleaning applications, because of their exceptional ability to absorb oils. A polyamide is a polymer containing monomers joined by peptide bonds. They can occur both naturally, examples being proteins, such as wool and silk, and can be made artificially, examples being Nylons, Aramids, and sodium poly(aspartate).

Sort of explains why I never sweat in it, nor does it get dirty, nor ever lose its shape.

Is this dishcloth made of protein? I think wools are made of protein. Today the front article of Dallas Morning News is about synthetic life made of synthetic DNA, etc.
