Wool's resiliency comes from its unique fiber structure, which includes a natural crimp and a complex arrangement of scales along the fiber surface. This crimp allows wool fibers to bend and stretch without losing their shape, while the scales create friction that helps the fibers cling together. Additionally, wool's ability to absorb moisture and regain its shape after compression contributes to its overall resilience. This combination of structural and chemical properties makes wool an excellent material for various applications, especially in clothing and insulation.
