- Hygienic;
- Keeps shape.
The disadvantages of pure woolen fabric include low abrasion resistance, so today it is rare to find clothes made from such a material. Also, woolen things have a rather high price. To reduce the cost of fabric for tailoring, wool is used with the content of other materials, such as acrylic, cotton, silk. These things are durable and strong.
There are several types of stylish, warm and beautiful woolen fabric: crepe, drape, molton, gabardine, boucle. Coats are traditionally sewn from drape, gabardine is suitable for dresses and skirts, and jackets are made from Boston, tweed or boucle.
