That’s really frustrating to me. Wool is a great material, as long as it’s treated correctly. Hell, you can even blend it with synthetics to get get some of the properties that it doesn’t normally have, like wear resistance. But the costs are too much for the fashion industry; people are willing to pay $50 for a cotton poly blend shirt that is worn out in a year, but not $200 for a nylon wool blend shirt that last for ten.
