Because the wool stays dry itself, which makes it very unlikely to let the microbes and germs sit in and grow.  They absorb only 30% moisture of their total weight and never feel soggy even when washed. This is why they dry quickly and are ready to use soon after they are removed. This makes them a more excellent choice for early summer and autumn use keeping the user cool and comfortable.

Hypoallergenic

As stated above, they do not absorb the moisture and let the microbes and bacterias breed. They also prevent mildew, mists, dust, unpleasantries, & mold sitting in their fibers, which makes them suitable for people suffering from skin allergies.

Wool blankets wick away the moisture, and even the liquids accidentally spilled on them, which keeps them neat & stain free.
