Fine, baby-soft lambs wool makes comfortable toe padding for pointe
dancers. The wool fibers breathe naturally,
absorb and wick moisture
away, and the crimp of the wool fibers provides
natural elasticity and
resiliency for a soft durable cushion. Made from fleeces of Rambouillet
sheep, which are known for their fine, baby-soft wool, pointe wool can
also be used as padding for medical purposes for diabetics, the elderly,
and runners. Pointe wool
is available in two forms, either as a center-pull
ball or as a carded batt.
Wool from a center-pull ball is soft, fine, compact, and very smooth. Being
one long continuous band of wool, one may
conveniently pull off the desired
quantity as needed.
