They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug. The wool is coarse and wiry, but by combining it with another Lake District wool, the softer Texel, we can at last bring you these artisan rugs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis wool rug is beautiful, but is it also functional?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you only just met us? Of course it’s functional too! As you may know, we live and breathe draught-proofing and a rug can be a really great way of draught-proofing your floor. If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Wool gap filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/door-window-draught-excluders\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Draught Excluder collections\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep draught excluder\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, and\u003ca title=\"Door and window draught excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/door-window-draught-excluders\"\u003e door and window draught excluders.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have its' day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment.

As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour.

Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWe leave the wool undyed.

Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, if you’ve already got a carpet down, you may not have any issues with draughts coming through your floorboards, in which case you can enjoy the beauty and tactility of our T’yan Wool Rug (which in our opinion, is pretty special in itself).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Cotton Door Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape for Doors and Windows\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have its day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment. The multiple grey hues of the undyed Herdwick wool have a natural beauty and make each rug so unique and versatile to suit many interior styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the benefits of having wool in the home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is a fantastic material to have in your home with a whole range of naturally occurring properties and a rug is a great way to include wool in your home in a stylish way! Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

We always end up with more wool than we need so it's perfect to use for filling these door draught excluders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is using organic cotton good for the environment?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of organic cotton farming is to eliminate highly toxic substances (like toxic hazardous pesticides) from the growing process which benefits both people and the planet. This process is natural. To do this, farmers go back to the ‘old fashioned’ way of doing things by using natural systems and cycles to help grow crops. This includes crop rotation, green manures, no-till methods and composting. All of this makes the soil healthy which leads to better crop harvests without the need for harsh and potentially harmful chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-organic cotton farming relies on synthetic chemicals to grow such as nitrogen fertilisers and artificial pesticides, many of which are fossil-fuel based (and we all know what they do to the environment…). Removing these chemical inputs not only reduces the use of fossil fuels but also means that biodiversity can improve. This results in more bugs, bees, birds and worms! Any pest control that is used is completely natural and is only permitted under very restricted circumstances.

Wool is a natural product. Sheep spend their lives grazing and growing wool. This is clipped in the summer when it’s hot for their welfare. Then it all grows back in time to keep them warm in the winter as it is a natural insulator. This makes it the perfect material to keep our homes warm!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has remarkable properties that enable it to absorb high volatile compounds (VOC’s) such as formaldehyde. Studies have shown that VOC’s bind permanently to the wool fibre, so they absorb it and never release it. Wool has been used to clean up environments where there are high levels of VOC’s. Having wool around your home will make it a cleaner, healthier and better environment to live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat other ways can I draught-proof my home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraught-proofing your home will make your home more energy-efficient which will reduce your gas bills (or electricity bills depending on your heating system!) and make your home a little bit greener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have an open chimney, we always suggest starting there! An open chimney is often the biggest source of heat loss, actively sucking warm air out of your home. To stop this, you’ll need to use a chimney blocker of some sort which will stop that lovely warm air from escaping. This can be done with something like our fantastic \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\" title=\"Chimney Sheep collection\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e. We don’t recommend chimney pillows or duvets to block your chimney as they don’t work particularly well and can cause damp issues!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome draughts aren’t quite as obvious as a giant chimney and they can often be quite hard to detect with the naked eye.

The yarn used is made by spinning together wool from two breeds of sheep. The smiley Herdwick sheep and the frowny Texel sheep. They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug. The wool is coarse and wiry, but by combining it with another Lake District wool, the softer Texel, we can at last bring you these artisan rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 7.8kg this contains the wool of around 11 sheep! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis wool rug is beautiful, but is it also functional?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you only just met us? Of course it’s functional too! As you may know, we live and breathe draught-proofing and a rug can be a really great way of draught-proofing your floor. If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, if you’ve already got a carpet down, you may not have any issues with draughts coming through your floorboards, in which case you can enjoy the beauty and tactility of our T’yan Wool Rug (which in our opinion, is pretty special in itself).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluder\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Organic Cotton Door Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape for Doors and Windows\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have also made the conscious decision to leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment. Plus, the multiple grey hues of the Herdwick wool makes each rug so unique and versatile to suit many interior styles. The undyed wool has a real beauty to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the benefits of having wool in the home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is a fantastic material to have in your home with a whole range of naturally occurring properties and a rug is a great way to include wool in your home in a stylish way! Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

Each rug is handmade with 100% wool sourced from UK farms, which means, unlike many rugs on the market, it is made with all natural materials and is synthetic fibre free. Not only is that good for your home but it is also sustainable and more environmentally friendly too.  You can read about how we source our wool \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/pages\/operation-wool\" title=\"Operation Wool\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur rugs are rather special as each one is hand-woven on an old-fashioned wooden loom. The yarn used is made by spinning together wool from two breeds of sheep. The smiley Herdwick sheep and the frowny Texel sheep. They are two different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug. The wool is coarse and wiry, but by combining it with another Lake District wool, the softer Texel, we can at last bring you these artisan rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis wool rug is beautiful, but is it also functional?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you only just met us?

If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable.

Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed.

Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

The air vent is there to provide enough oxygen for your appliances when they are burning fuel. If they don’t get enough oxygen they produce carbon monoxide which is a killer. So the air vent is pretty useful when you’ve got a fire lit. But what about all the rest of the time, when the fire isn’t lit and there’s still a howling gale blowing through? Wouldn’t it be great to have something that restricted the air flow and prevented those annoying draughts? Ta daaa!

There are no moving parts, just a clever design inside that zigzags the air, slowing it down, so it doesn’t rush in through the vent. If a greater amount of air is needed because the appliance is burning, the air can come in as fast as it likes, and if the appliance isn’t lit the air will just trickle in giving you just the amount of ventilation you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the DR21 air vent cover work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard louvered vent basically lets air blow straight through the wall.

It is the reaction of oxygen with fuel that creates heat. Just as we need air to breathe and generate our own energy, so too does fire. And it needs a surprising amount of air in order to do this. Air contains just 20% oxygen so a lot of air is needed to supply what’s required. Older houses were built with little insulation and ill fitting windows, so basically had vents as part of the fabric of the structure. As buildings have become more air tight, or as insulation measures have been retro-fitted, it’s very important to make sure that all appliances that burn have a good enough air supply. If a fire doesn’t get a good enough supply of air it won’t burn properly and will produce carbon monoxide.

Simply pop the box together (it comes flat packed so it doesn't get squashed in the post), peel the cover off a single sticky strip down the back to hold it in place in the box, and peel the protective layer off the front of the sticky card. Carefully, holding onto the non-sticky corner, insert it into the box and you're ready to trap moths. You can slide the hanger piece through the top and hang it in a wardrobe, or hang it discreetly in a room, or even slide it under the sofa to attract moths that might be thinking of homing in on your wool rugs. Each trap will be detected within a space of around 70 cubic metres. This is equivalent to one generously proportioned room or two smallish ones. It's a good idea to have several traps distributed around the home. Remember, the moth trap will only kill the male moths, and it's the females laden with eggs that are going to drop a load somewhere where they can hatch into larvae and eat holes in your wool, silk, feathers and fur. The pheromone trap is part of a repertoire of products to manage moths in the home. The trick with this trap is to catch the male moths before they get the opportunity to mate, thus breaking the breeding cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to control clothes moths in the home\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst of all, are you absolutely sure the moth in your home is a clothes moth? There are three species of moth in the UK whose larvae eat material with keratin in (that is, wool, silk, fur, feathers). There are hundreds of different species of moth, and most of them are completely harmless. The Mottlock moth trap emits pheromones that only attract the clothes moth and the case-bearing moth so if you set the trap and you are catching moths then yes, there are clothes moths in your home. The other one to look out for is the pale-backed clothes moth - that responds to other pheromones so if it looks like there's a slightly larger moth munching your woollens then you'll probably need one of our Chimney Sheep traps that attracts the pale-backed clothes moth and the common clothes moth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBe strategic\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you discover moths in the home it's tempting to purchase every anti-moth product you can find and try them all out at once. However this will confuse the moths as you are attracting them with one and repelling them with another. You need to be more cunning than that. The repellent products are better deployed once you have destroyed adult moths and their larvae. Then it is time to deter moths. Use the Mottlock Moth trap to kill the adult males. Use the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/plant-protection\/products\/aries-pistal-professional-insecticide\" title=\"Aries Pistal Professional Insecticide\"\u003ePistal professional insecticide\u003c\/a\u003e with care on adult female moths and hatched larvae. This is made of an extract of chrysanthemums called pyrethrin, which is similar to the synthetic permethrins which are widely used in insect control. It is a natural product, is approved for organic use, and will become inactive after two to three days but while it is active it is lethal to all insects, even the beneficial ones, so this must be used with extreme caution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBe thorough\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOK so you're on a mission to de-moth your house, you think you've got all the adults, but what if some of them have managed to lay their eggs already? This is where the hard work comes in. You need to do a thorough clean, wash wool and silk items on a wool wash, get them dry-cleaned if necessary. Don't forget your sock drawer if you have pure wool socks and don't forget your undies if you have pure silk underwear. You can put things in the freezer if it's easier. If you have wool rugs then these need to be vacuumed and cleaned underneath (the larvae are clever little beasts and can sneak under the rug where a vacuum won't reach). Regular carpet shampoo products will not kill moth eggs so if the rug can handle the heat then steam clean it, if not then vacuum top and bottom. And replace the hoover bag \/ empty the contents if it's bagless into a sealed bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetect, destroy, deter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving gone to all that trouble you don't want to be doing it all over again.

They are common in the wild (where they do a useful job of biodegrading material that would otherwise take a long time to break down) so if they are in the area they may decide to pop in for a visit. Use the moth trap somewhere away from the deterrents to keep an eye on things and prevent Mr Moth from getting lucky with any Mrs Moths that may be around.

The pheromone trap only attracts clothes moths, so it gives an indication of whether the moths you see in the home are in fact clothes moths or other species.

Here are a few reasons why wool is brilliant to use for insulation:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e – sheep wool acts as a brilliant heat insulation product because of the wool’s crimped structure. When wool fibres are packed together, they form millions of tiny air pockets which trap air. This keeps buildings warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool insulation works just as well as manmade insulation products but is more sustainable and better for the environment, requiring less than 15% of the energy needed to produce glass fibre insulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity regulating\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is hygroscopic so it will readily absorb water from the air. It can absorb up to 35% of its own weight from the surrounding atmosphere depending on the humidity, without feeling damp. If you have a damp home, the wool can help absorb moisture then wick it away when there’s enough airflow to dry it out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool insulation is a very effective airborne and structure-borne acoustic insulation due to the multiple layered wool fibres. This significantly reduces noises that can be heard throughout a building.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is hypoallergenic as it is resistant to bacteria, mould and mildew that can trigger allergic reactions in many people. Our insulation causes no irritation to the eyes, skin or lungs and wool fibres present no hazard to your health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorbs high volatile compounds (VOCs)\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is able to absorb and break down indoor air pollutants, such as formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, making air cleaner and safer. VOCs are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture and things that have been varnished or painted. The VOCs bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre. You can read more about it here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally breathable\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is naturally breathable, allowing air and moisture to move and circulate in a space (purifying air that moves through the wool), whilst still insulating and keeping your home warm. Think of it like a nice feather duvet, that keeps you snug and warm but still permits moisture and air to percolate through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally fire retardant\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool does not support combustion and it will extinguish itself in the event of fire. In fact, 100% wool insulation has a higher fire resistance than cellulose and cellular plastic insulation. Wool does not burn, but instead singes away from fire and extinguishes (wool has a very high inflammation point of 560°C due to its high Nitrogen content of ~16%). The fibres are self-extinguishing because of their high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI=25.2), which means to completely burn wool an oxygen content of 25.2% is necessary whereas air only has 21%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow else can I make my home feel warmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraught proofing is one of the most effective ways of helping to keep your home warm.

After Mr and Mrs Moth have met and mated then Mrs Moth will be actively seeking somewhere to lay her eggs so that her 200 or so baby larvae have something nice to eat when they hatch out all hungry. They eat keratin so this is anything made of wool, silk, fur, or feathers, or anything mixed with these. The idea of the lavender deterrent is to persuade her to go somewhere else to lay those eggs. It will also act as a discouragement to come in in the first place.

And we mean A LOT! There is actually no reason to mine new aluminium to make foil because we already have lots in use that can be recycled, reformed and reused! By using aluminium from a 100% recycled source creates much less energy waste. In fact, the manufacturing of this foil uses only 5% of the energy required for making regular aluminium foil.

It is sat in a landfill site, being completely useless and could potentially be harmful to wildlife and their habitats (think about aluminium cans and how sharp they are once they’ve been opened). By recycling it you are ensuring the aluminium is being put to good use again! It’s a bit like having an old pair of jeans in your wardrobe. You might not wear them anymore but someone else might, so you take then to a charity shop or sell them on. It’s the same sort of concept – why throw away a perfectly functioning material like aluminium if it can be repurposed and made into something useful for someone else?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTo conserve aluminium resources\u003c\/strong\u003e – aluminium comes from the earth’s crust in many parts of the world as the mineral bauxite. It is a resource that requires mining and, like many of the earth’s natural resources, we are using them faster than they are being created. There is only a finite amount of aluminium, so we need to ensure that we conserve as much as possible and treat it like the precious resource it is. Recycling helps us do this as we are reusing the aluminium that has already been mined without taking any more from the earth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTo reduce the amount of energy used producing items from virgin aluminium foil\u003c\/strong\u003e – it takes one litre of fuel to make three rolls of virgin aluminium foil. That same litre of fuel can make 60 (yes 6-0) rolls of If You Care aluminium foil. That is an incredible improvement in energy efficiency. Not only that but recycling 1kg of aluminium can save up to 8kg of bauxite, 4kg in chemical products and 14,000 watts of electricity.
