Qualitative classification of wool

The qualitative classification of wool is made according to its fineness. Fineness is an empirical measurement resulting from the overall perception of “feel”, diameter, elasticity, and curl, among others.

Production Process

This fiber has a natural undulation, which is an advantage for the production of its yarns and fabrics. The curl, stretch, and elasticity is some of the properties that contribute to the production of this fiber.

Being a natural fiber and coming from the hair of an animal, it is difficult to have identical wool fibers. Making this fiber more peculiar and special.

In addition, the finer the fiber, the more lustrous it is, and its luster is sometimes compared to the luster of silk.

Properties

Lhama wool is very flexible, comfortable, dimensionally resilient, has good water retention, and has a very soft, warm, and welcoming feel. These characteristics make this fiber one of the most sought-after for colder climates.

In the market, it is known for its breathability, its hypoallergenic properties, its excellent natural insulation, and its resistance to dust absorption.
