#TEXTILETUESDAY – DANCES WITH WOOL
Wool is a protein-based fiber (keratin) available in many varieties such as: Angora, Cashmere, Mohair, Merino, Vicuna and more! Wool is a very versatile fiber that lends well to several constructions such as tweed, flannel, gabardine, loden and even baize, which is the covering for pool tables! Wool fiber is naturally crimped, providing the interior structure of wool fiber a spring-like characteristic that enables elasticity and exhibits resilience by making wool resistant to sagging and wrinkling. The finer the wool fibers are, the more crimp they have and in turn the better they drape. The exterior of wool fiber is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, which also makes wool naturally less prone to staining. Added benefits to wool include anti-static and inherent flame resistance.
