Fabric Details: 70% Super 140’s Wool, 30% Poly

Combining the very fine 2/100s nm with 16.5 micron is like combining the better with the best. The resultant fabric is Aventus, that is a combination of a compact construction ensuring a superb drape for your garments. That the fabric is machine washable is a performance attribute that contributes to the practicality of this luxury fabric. Aventus is blended with Super 140s grade and Microfiber Polyester.

What Makes This Fabric Stand Out?

  • Reduced cost: The manufacturing cost of the item is reduced, but the inclusion of wool allows a higher price to be charged to the consumer.
  • Better feel: Adding other fibers such as cotton or silk counterbalances the itchiness of wool and increases the item’s softness.
  • Ease of care: Lowering the wool content by bringing in a synthetic fabric makes the item easier to wash and dry without special or delicate methods.
  • Improved durability: Adding nylon or polyester to wool significantly increases the garment’s life by reducing pilling and shrinkage.
  • Stretchability: The design of wool fibers doesn’t allow for much give-and-take. Adding synthetics or cotton to wool improves the ability of the item to stretch a bit as needed.
  • Less weight: Adding lightweight synthetic fabrics help offset the natural heaviness of pure wool.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry cleaning is typically the safest method for cleaning superfine wool garments.
  • Professional dry cleaning helps maintain the fabric’s structure and minimizes the risk of shrinkage or damage.
  • Keep them in a cool place and with cedar balls or lavender oil.
  • As wool garments tend to collect moisture, therefore cover them with natural material like paper or cloth rather than plastic bags.
