Wool is NOT machine washable. So it you tend to get dirty, wool isn't the best. It needs to be carefully hand washed or drycleaned.

I tend to stay fairly clean, so wool works for me. I also LOVE "4 yard" box pleats and will tell anyone. Many others disagree. I like my box pleat facings WIDE too-> 3-4 inches. To each his own.
Wool and box pleats work together GREAT.
Your box pleats always look fantastic. Even after hours of driving on them. Quality work there.

Narrow box pleats muss up to easily I believe. Wider ones spread the distress over a larger area and are easier to smooth out.

There is always HEMP. Which may be nature's most perfect material.
