Patonised wool refers to wool that has undergone a specific treatment process to enhance its qualities, such as softness, durability, and resistance to shrinkage. This process typically involves treating the wool with a chemical solution, which helps to remove impurities and make the fibers smoother. The result is a finer, more luxurious wool that is often used in high-quality textiles and garments. Patonised wool is popular among knitters and crafters for its improved handling and knitting properties.
