Wool blend yarn is a yarn made from a mixture of wool and other fibers, such as cotton, polyester, nylon, or silk. The fibers are mixed before being spun into yarn.
Combine the best properties: Blending wool with other fibers can create a yarn with the best properties of both. For example, wool-cotton blends can be softer and more breathable than pure wool.
Improve functionality: Blending can improve the functionality of a fabric, such as making it more wrinkle resistant or dimensionally stable.
Reduce cost: Blending can reduce the cost of a product.
Examples of wool blends:
- Wool-cotton blends: Can be softer and more breathable than pure wool
- Wool-polyester blends: Can be stronger and more wrinkle resistant than pure wool
- Wool-nylon blends: Can help keep shape and form
The percentage of wool in a wool blend will be detailed on the label.
