What Makes It Different?
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.
