WHAT IS

WOOL FABRIC?

Woolen fabrics are healthy fabric types that can be used easily in any climate. Wool is a natural yarn obtained from sheep species. The best wool is made from short hair. Long hairs are used to make thick fabric.

There are various types of special wool. These species are goat hair alpaca, mohair, mohair, and cashmere. Special wools are very soft and expensive because they are produced in very small quantities. These wools are mixed with sheep’s wool to add shine and increase the curl of the fabric.
