As the weather begins to ‘chill-out’ a great item to pick up to help keep you warm and toasty is a quality wool hat. This winter it seems that eco-friendly wool hats are all the rage and gaining significantly in popularity.

This is wonderful news for all you green buffs out there as now you can not only keep your noggin warm, but you can do so in an eco-friendly fashion way. So what is eco-friendly wool?

Take merino wool from New Zealand for example. This type of wool is derived from the merino sheep/lamb that are raised in the mountains in a pure and unspoiled environment. Not only is the wool derived from these sheep/lambs eco-friendly, but it is also softer, lighter, and more pliable than traditional wool. It is also much more rare and is compared in comfort and style to that of cashmere.

There are now a good deal of stores that carry this type of wool both online and offline. You will know you are buying merino wool as it will say so on the label. EcoZeal.com urges everyone to look into this and other types of eco-friendly wool before you buy your new wool cap this winter.

Remember, just because you want to look good and stay up to par with the latest in fashion, doesn’t mean that you have to be mean to the Earth to do so. This winter, choose to stay warm and stay green!
