"Woollen swimwear, popular a century ago, might soon make a splash on
Australian beaches again.
In the 19th century, when natural fibres were the only option, beach-goers
donned costumes made of wool or cotton. Swimsuits worn at the water’s edge or
in the crashing waves transformed across the 20th century from natural fibres
to sleek, high-performance synthetics.
But with concern mounting over microplastics and the search for sustainable
options, the woollen swimsuits of the past could be the swimwear of the
future."
