Understanding Wool Fabric
Wool is a fabric made from various animal hairs. While commonly associated with sheep, wool can also come from animals like goats, alpacas, and camels.
Sheep wool as a garment may date back as early as 4000 BC. However, the first hard evidence of wool clothing dates back to 1500 BC, found in the wetlands of Denmark.
What Is Wool Fabric?
Wool fabric is a naturally-sourced textile made from the hairs of animals such as sheep, alpacas, goats, and camels. Wool fibers can be woven into different types of weaves and dyed into various colors. These are used to make jackets, sweaters, overcoats, and suits. Besides clothing, wool fabric is also utilized in home and industrial materials.
Today, wool fabric remains popular, though many people have turned to synthetic alternatives due to unethical practices in wool harvesting.
Types of Wool Fabrics
There are many types of wool fabric, with fibers from sheep being the most commonly used. Here are some of the most common types of wool today:
Merino Wool
Merino wool comes from Merino sheep and is the most common type of wool. Studies show that Merino wool has a diameter of less than 20 microns, creating thin, fine fibers, making it one of the finest wool products today.
Cashmere Wool
Cashmere wool is obtained from cashmere goats. It is silky, lightweight, warm, and has a luxurious sheen. Cashmere wool is rare and expensive, mostly used for winter and fall garments.
Mohair Wool
Mohair wool comes from angora goats and is characterized by its thick and wavy texture. It is popularly used to make sweaters and carpets.
Alpaca Wool
Alpaca wool comes from alpacas (the camel family) and is silky, soft, warmer than Merino wool, and naturally waterproof. It is also hypoallergenic, perfect for those with sensitive skin. There are two known breeds that produce alpaca wool:
- Suri alpaca wool: silky fleece
- Huacaya alpaca wool: soft and dense wool
Camel Wool
Camel wool is produced by the Bactrian camel, yielding fine, soft, and elastic fleece in various shades of brown. Most camel wool isn’t dyed, but baby camels produce fine, white wool.
Virgin Wool
Virgin wool is made from the first shearing of a lamb and may also refer to wool that has never been recycled.
Angora Wool
Angora wool comes from Angora rabbits and is distinct from mohair wool. It produces soft and fine fleece, making it a very expensive and rare type of wool.
Vicuna Wool
Vicuna wool fibers are the finest and softest in the world. Vicunas are only shorn three times a year, making vicuna wool extremely rare. Historically, only royalty were allowed to wear vicuna wool.
Llama Wool
Llama wool is rough when worn directly on the skin but works well for outer garments. It is considered rare due to the limited number of llama breeders.
Qiviut Wool
Qiviut wool comes from qiviuts, a type of musk ox native to Alaska. It is rough like llama wool and is eight times warmer than regular wool, making it ideal for winter clothing such as hats, gloves, and coats.
Conclusion
Despite the rise of synthetic fibers, wool fabric remains one of the most popular textiles today due to its excellent insulating properties, making it ideal for winter clothing.
However, the future of wool is uncertain due to the unethical practices many engage in to maximize profits. It is recommended to seek out sustainably sourced wool fabrics to ensure ethical and environmentally friendly production.
