After buying so many wool sweaters, are you really wearing the right one?
It is said that these days North America has significant cooling, so it is time to hide in the closet for half a year of sweaters, see a lot of V-recommended wool sweaters and all kinds of single products with the method, but the heart of a million little sheep running through: should not wool sweaters close to wearing it? Also, take so many clothes inside, you have considered the feelings of sheep?

Many people choose to add inside the wool sweater, the general should also be the following kinds of cases:

1, wool is too solid, and uncomfortable to wear close to the body

That’s because you didn’t buy the right wool sweater, a good wool sweater will never tie the skin.

2, the wool sweater is a jacket, worn close to the body and is not environmentally friendly

Wool sweaters and T-shirts are national B goods, with direct contact with the skin, why can accept T-shirts close to wearing but can not accept wool sweaters close to wearing it?

3, wool is difficult to take care of, wearing it close to the body will leave sweat and grease

Do you never wash your wool sweater?

You should know that wool in the world, in addition to cashmere, can be worn close to the warmest natural fabrics.

I saw a friend ask how to deal with the wool sweater he bought, it is very simple to buy a wool sweater that does not tie. Why do wool sweaters tie? See the following chart will be very clear::

On the left is poor-quality wool, the scales on the wool fibers are disorganized and rough.

On the right is a good quality wool, the scales are smooth and regular.

Imagine the difference when these two pieces of wool are cut across your face at the same time. In the textile industry, the smaller the fiber fineness of the same type of material, the softer it is. Ordinary wool fiber fineness is generally around 25 microns, and direct contact with the skin will feel rough, while wool with a fiber fineness of 20 microns or less will feel much softer to the touch, and even sensitive skin will not feel stuck. You can use your wrist to rub the wool sweater back and forth, if you feel a prickly feeling, it is recommended to give up this wool sweater, because such a wool sweater is not as reliable as a cotton knit sweater, although in the warmth than the wool sweater is slightly worse.

So, the question arises, how to choose a wool sweater that does not tie the skin?

First, it must be 100 percent wool material, nowadays, there are many artificial fibers, such as imitation cashmere, acrylic, and nylon feel very soft, and will not feel skin, but after all, not purely natural, but artificial chemical synthesis, so the first step must be to identify whether it is all wool, different materials, the price will also be very different.

Secondly, try to choose imported Australian merino wool, wool fiber fine 20 microns or less (generally ultra-fine merino wool can reach this standard). Although our lovely Alashan League also produces wool, because of water quality soil climate, and other reasons, domestic wool in the fine degree and Australian wool are not comparable.

Thirdly, wool that has been treated with Basuran will have its surface scales stripped and become smoother and will be more comfortable in contact with the skin than untreated wool.

Fourth, try to choose a light-colored wool sweater, all wool will dye, but the light-colored relative dye degree will be lower, more to maintain the original wool.

Fifth, the temperature difference between the north and south, you can choose a thin and thick style according to their own situation, generally speaking, single-sided 14 needles / 16 needles for thin models, more suitable for spring and autumn in the south; single-sided 12 needles for conventional models, more suitable for spring and autumn in the north or late autumn in the south; if you need thicker can choose double-sided 12 needles.
