Characteristics of Wool Fabrics:

Good Thermal Insulation: Wool fibers are a type of natural protein fiber. Their curled structure can store a large amount of air, forming an air layer that prevents heat loss, thus possessing excellent thermal insulation properties. This makes wool fabrics highly suitable for making winter clothing such as overcoats, sweaters, and scarves, which can effectively withstand cold weather.

Excellent Elasticity: Wool fibers have relatively high elasticity and flexibility. Under standard conditions, wool fibers can extend between 20% and 40%. In a humid environment, they can even extend to over 70%. Moreover, the recovery rate is extremely high. After being stretched by 2%, the fibers can immediately recover, with a recovery rate reaching 99%. Even after a 10% stretch, the recovery rate is still over 50%. This elasticity enables the clothing made of wool fabrics to maintain its shape well during the wearing process and not easily deform.

Strong Moisture Absorption: The standard moisture regain of wool is between 13.6% and 16%. Under saturated conditions, wool can absorb more than 29% of its weight in water. This moisture absorption ability allows wool fabrics to absorb the sweat excreted by the human body and then dissipate it into the air, keeping the skin dry and comfortable. Therefore, wool fabrics are suitable for wearing in humid environments and also for sports activities.

Soft Handfeel: The fineness of wool fibers is relatively fine, and the handfeel is soft and smooth. Wearing them close to the body is very comfortable and will not cause any irritation to the skin. Moreover, after fine processing, the handfeel of wool fabrics becomes even more delicate, and the texture is more upscale.

Good Gloss: The surface of wool fibers has a natural scale structure, which endows wool fabrics with a soft gloss, making them look more noble and elegant. Fine wool usually has a higher gloss than coarse wool fibers.

Good Abrasion Resistance: Wool fibers have a certain degree of strength and toughness and are relatively abrasion-resistant, with good durability. Therefore, the clothing made of wool fabrics can withstand daily wearing and use, having a relatively long service life.

Antistatic Property: Wool is antistatic by itself because it is an organic substance and contains moisture. This makes wool fabrics less likely to generate static electricity during the wearing process, reducing the discomfort caused by static electricity to the human body and the adsorption of static electricity on the clothing.

Applicable Scenarios of Wool Fabrics:

Daily Clothing:

• Autumn and Winter Clothing: This is the most common application scenario of wool fabrics. Wool overcoats, sweaters, and woolen sweaters are all popular clothing items in autumn and winter seasons. They are both warm and stylish, meeting people's wearing needs in cold weather.
• Business Formal Attire: Some high-quality suits and sets will also adopt wool fabrics, especially pure wool or wool blended with other fibers. They have good drapability and stiffness, which can show the elegant temperament and professional image of the wearer.

Home Furnishings: Wool fabrics can be used to make blankets, carpets, and curtains. Wool blankets are soft and comfortable with good thermal insulation, making them an ideal choice for winter homes; wool carpets have good abrasion resistance and sound insulation properties, which can add a warm and comfortable atmosphere to the home environment; wool curtains have good light-blocking and decorative properties, which can enhance the taste of the home.

Outdoor Sports: After special treatment, wool fabrics possess functions such as waterproofing, windproofing, and breathability, making them suitable for making outdoor sports clothing such as mountaineering suits and skiing suits. These clothing items can provide good protection for the wearer in harsh outdoor environments while keeping the body dry and comfortable.
