Wool Fabric
Fabric Glossary
Wool is a natural fibre obtained from the fleece of sheep and other animals such as alpacas and goats. It is valued for its warmth, softness, and moisture-wicking properties, making it a staple in cooler climates.
Uses:
Wool is commonly used for coats, suits, jumpers, scarves, blankets, and other winter garments. It’s also used in felting and some upholstery. Wool fabric is ideal for creating warm, high-quality garments and textiles that offer natural comfort and longevity—perfect for autumn and winter wear.
