What is superwashed wool and do Wool&Prince products use superwashed wool?

Superwashed wool is wool that is machine washable and, therefore, will not felt or shrink like untreated wool. Superwashed wool is made by exposing the fiber to a chlorine gas that erodes the scales and then it is coated in a plastic resin called Hercosett 125. One yard of our t-shirt fabric has .45 grams of resin, about half the weight of a raisin. The scouring mill has a EU Ecolabel Certificate and is Standard 100 by Oeko Tex.
