Wool is a fine fabric, suitable for making clothes suitable for every occasion and every season. Let's discover together all the virtues of this ancient, natural and excellent yarn
Wool clothes are a must have that really cannot be missing from a man's wardrobe: thermoregulating, natural and quality, wool is a perfect fiber for making 4-season men's suits and suits , especially when it is treated in such a way as to obtain a thin and soft yarn .
But how to recognize the quality of a fabric and therefore of a wool suit? Let's find out together in this article on our blog dedicated to this precious yarn .
Wool: a treasure of nature
Wool is one of the oldest and most precious yarns used in clothing . It is known for its thermoregulatory qualities, making it ideal for all-season clothing.
One of wool's defining characteristics is its ability to regulate body temperature . Thanks to its fibrous structure, wool retains heat during the winter, keeping the wearer warm, while during the summer it absorbs humidity, ensuring breathability and an always fresh and dry fit. This makes it the ideal choice for those looking for a dress to wear all year round, without compromises.
Natural and eco-sustainable.
In addition to its functional and aesthetic advantages, wool is also a natural and eco-sustainable fibre . It is biodegradable, recyclable and comes from a renewable source. Preferring wool clothes means making a conscious choice towards respecting the environment , without sacrificing quality or style.
How to recognize a quality wool fabric?
Recognizing a quality wool yarn may not be easy for those who are not experts in the field: however, it is enough to know which aspects to pay attention to to learn to recognize a fine fabric.
When talking about wool, the parameters to evaluate to understand if you are faced with a quality fabric are:
- the origin and processing of the fibers used
- the type of weave and the fineness of the fibers
- the weight of the fabric
Origin and processing of the fibres.
The first discriminant is given by the type of fibers used and the way in which they are treated: as we know, there are different types of wool, which are classified both based on the breed of the animal of origin and on the type of processing undergone by the fibers , such as the treatment of the fleece with chemical methods, which affects the length and waviness.
Texture and fineness of the fibers.
Based on the processing, two types of wool fabrics can essentially be distinguished: carded wool and combed wool . The difference lies in the length of the fibers and the way they are woven:
- long fibers arranged in parallel for combed wool, which therefore gives rise to shaved fabrics, cooler and smoother to the touch
- short fibers for carded wool, which generates fabrics that are more "swollen" and rougher to the touch, because more air remains trapped between the short fibers.
Based on the fineness of the fibers used, it is possible to distinguish between fabrics that essentially differ in quality and use: the fineness is given by the average diameter of the fibers used and is indicated by a number followed by the letter "s" and generally between 100 and 160 . The higher this number, the finer the fibers, which makes the fabric softer and more valuable.
Fabric weight.
Alongside these parameters, the weight of the wool expressed in grams and which refers to one meter of fabric must also be evaluated: this aspect is important to distinguish between light fabrics, under 240 grams, suitable for making summer clothes , and heavy fabrics, above 270 grams, which are better suited to making winter clothes .
