Wool sweater or wool blend sweater is very popular in European countries.Especially in the UK, wool sweater has another name: wool jumper.
As a knitwear supplier and manufacturer, we always need to source different qualities of yarn for customers’ choice.
When I first went into the industry, I have no specified direction about yarn quality sourcing. I just source the good quality as I thought.
But time flies, I should say I learned from the experience. While considering quality, we should also consider customer needs and brand positioning.
When speaking of wool sweaters, all our customers will choose wool as the composition to do at least one style in their knitwear collection.
Wool is a very good material for knitwear sweaters, both in summer and winter.
It’s warm and sustainable.

Original Material
Wool is also classified as wool, lambswool, RWS wool, organic wool, etc.
Common wool composition has 100%wool/lambswool, 80%wool/lambswool 20%nylon. Others like 33%wool 33%mohair 28%nylon 6%spandex, 35%llama 35%wool 26%nylon 4%spandex, 65%recycled polyester 10%wool 25%acrylic etc.
Production Technical
Wool can be made as woolen wool and worsted wool.
So what’s the difference between the woolen wool sweater and the worsted wool sweater?
Hand Feel Different
Woolen wool is chosen from the thick but short fiber, the surface is more fluffy, soft, and warm. Like the cashmere/wool mixed quality, suitable for the Fall/Winter season.
The woolen wool sweaters can be chosen as Fall/Winter collection.
Anti-pilling Different
Worsted wool chooses the long fiber. The surface is more smooth and flat, the pilling is better than the woolen wool. If customer requires a better pilling grade of a wool sweater. Then we suggest the worsted wool quality for knitwear products.
Knitting Gauge Different
The woolen wool is good at keeping warm. Suitable for thick gauge like 7GG,5GG.
The worsted wool yarn is most suitable for the thin gauge like 12GG,14GG,16GG, even for18GG as the base wool jumper.
