What is Worsted Wool?
There are several stages in yarn production of both worsted aand woolen spun yarns. Both go through the process of carding whereby fibers are untangled and alighed parallel. Carding also helps clean the fibers of debris. The next step is combing and only worsted wool is combed, woolen yarns are not. Combing further straightens and alighns the fibers and helps clean more debris and removes the shorter length fibers. and the difference is ...
WORSTED YARNS
- Have longer staple length (4" fibers and longer only)
- Are tighter twisted
- Are stronger
- Are finer, smoother, harder and have more uniform fibers
WOOLEN SPUN YARNS
- Are short staple lenght (1" to 4")
- Are more decorative than high-performance
- Are softer and more luxurious feeling
- Are bulker
