Great video! Thanks! We outdoors people gave up wool back in the 80’s as LLBean & other companies started pushing polyester, fleece, & cotton. It’s a shame. I’m glad wool is coming back. Polyester is terrible for our environment on many levels!
Wait - so I should make my sheep coats out of wool if I am trying to decrease the amount of sun-bleaching of the dark colored wool. The Cordura coats help but I wonder if wool would do better. I feel an experiment coming on......
Unless they get sheared during the sunniest part of the year, right? I’ve heard of sheep farmers keeping the sheep out of bright sun a day or so after the sheep get sheared.

It IS - and every time I sit around a campfire I can't help but scan what other people are wearing and suggest they move away from the sparks...
Another thumbs up for wool!
