Wool fabric brings to mind cozy warmth. Wool fibers come from a variety of animal coats, some extremely soft, others less so. Wool fibers have crimps or curls, which create pockets that give the wool a spongy feel its insulating properties. The outside surface of wool fiber consists of a series of serrated scales which overlap each other much like the scales of a fish, allowing the fibers to cling together and produce a felted texture. Most wool will recover its original shape after being stretched or creased, and it will absorb up to 30% weight in moisture without feeling damp. Its unique properties allow shaping and tailoring, making the wool the most popular fabric for tailoring fine garments. Wool is also dirt resistant, flame resistant, and, in many weaves, resists wear and tearing. Nylon is the generic term for man-made fibers composed of long chain synthetic polyamides derived from coal and petroleum. Known for its high strength and elasticity, Nylon is also abrasion, rot and mildew resistant. It has a low water absorption rate and is quick drying. These characteristics make it a great material for outerwear, hosiery, lingerie, sleepwear, sweaters, carpet and upholstery.
