Wool Week is an initiative by Wool Week Amsterdam, as part of the International Campaign for Wool. Wool has many excellent qualities, making it a versatile fabric. Did you know that some cultures believe sheepskin has healing properties? It’s time to lay out all the ins and outs of wool.
Insulating and Water-Repellent
Wool is a fine natural fabric that provides insulation. The advantage is that it keeps you warm while allowing it to “breathe.” Additionally, wool is water-repellent, so your sweater can handle an unexpected drizzle. The fiber naturally repels water, which means it retains warmth and won’t feel cold.
How to Wear Wool?
A lambswool sweater is a timeless classic appreciated by many men. You can find them in a variety of colors, types, and sizes at Suitable. Whether it’s a crewneck or v-neck style. Lambswool comes from a young sheep that has just been sheared for the first time. Only this type of wool can be called lambswool! This type of wool also regulates temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. These sweaters are popular at Suitable even in the summer.
Wool Works Casually Too!
Are you more into a less classic style? Even then, a wool sweater or cardigan can suit you perfectly. A sweater with buttoned up collar, for example, has a more “casual” look but pairs well with a nice dark pair of jeans from brands like Vanguard or Nudie Jeans. These types of sweaters often have a coarse texture. This year, Suitable offers a wide selection of these sweaters, ensuring there’s a wool sweater that matches your style.
How to Care for Wool?
Nowadays, we often toss things in the washing machine, but it’s best to hang wool sweaters outside to freshen up. In fact, it’s not really necessary to wash wool, as dirt doesn’t get absorbed into the fabric. Still want to wash it? Machine washing on a special wool program is recommended by experts only if no soap residue remains from previous washes.
If you’re unsure, it’s best to run your washing machine empty at a high temperature first. By the way, this is also beneficial for your machine’s lifespan. Most wool sweaters should be laid flat to dry, but always refer to the care label if you’re unsure.
