Wool

They all are used for clothing

Wool is produced all around the world. There are several types of wools coming from different sources. For example cashmere wool, lambswool, camel wool, sheep wool etc.

Here is few countries which are major producers for wool:

India

Pakistan

China

Sheep fleece is usually shorn from the animals annually. Fleece from other animals may be harvested on different schedules, depending on the animals and the climate in which they live.

Yes you can wash a wool jacket or any wool clothing. You have to hand wash it ( I do it in the sink ) and then let it air dry on a flat surface ( dont hang it the fibers will stretch )

Marino wool comes from a breed of sheep -- Marino. You can read more about them, below.

Cloth manufactured of a blend of wool and linen would be called a wool-linen blend, usually with the percentage mix of each fibre indicated on the label.

Patons has many weights of Tweed wool, so look through the Paton link and see if you can find the specific wool you are looking for and have an answer that way.

Wool fabrics are made from wool -- as are some wool blend fabrics, which contain less than 100% wool.

This one is easy - though I am here as I have the opposite problem!

I bought a bottle of Pretty Frills Blind Company Fabric Stiffening Solution at Dunelm Mill (UK retailer) for just £4.89. You dilute it with water in a bowl, dip the fabric in for a couple of minutes, remove and hang to dry. Then just iron it.

However, I would recommend diluting it more than it says, and don't pour over the remaining liquid as it dries thinking it will help even more - my fabric has ended up too stiff to make a roller blind with!

So - I've tried washing it to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on how to unstiffen it?!

It depends on what you're looking for. Merino wool is incredibly soft, and has a nice light hand, but it tends to be fragile. It doesn't always wear well, and is prone to fuzzing and pilling. It's lovely when softness is the main consideration, like for a scarf or baby items. But make an active boy a sweater of it, and the thing will be all pills and holes in no time at all. Peruvian Highland sheep are a cross between Merino (for the softness) and Corriedale (for durability.) You get a wool that is stronger and more durable, without losing too much in softness. It's a good all purpose wool, but not butter-soft like the merino.

Best practices dictate that you wear something between your skin and your wool clothing, such as a t-shirt.

Their are lots states in india which have the same common wool giving animal,the sheep but there are also some states where their are different animals like in jammu and kashmir there is kashmir goat in ladak the pashmina goat and in rajathan there is the camel ,but their are also animals like rabbits which give us wool it is known as angora wool.

Shear a sheep for wool, then to spin it locate a spinning wheel and use one piece on it, right-click the ball of wool icon, then click X, then type 28 and press enter to spin a full inventory.

the mixture of pollster and wool is called poly wool

The wool yielding animals found in different countries of Asia are mainly sheep and camel. They are also a good source of meat.

Yes, steel wool can rust. Steel is a ferrous material, meaning it is mostly iron. Rust is iron oxide. Thus, if you keep steel wool wet, it will certainly rust. Adding an oxidizer will increase the rate of this process as well.

Wool is very durable - a good weave out of high quality wool can create a piece of fabric that will last a decade or better if cared for properly.

I would say blankets would cost $5.00 to $16.00

you use wool to make some jumpers. it is to make it soft and you can make your own jumper if you know how to knit well.

There are many types of yarn used for crocheting. Wool is just one kind of yarn that you can use. It is used for really warmer clothing items and tends to be a little rougher on the skin and some people are allergic to it. The crochet pattern will tell you what kind of yarn you need to use, size of the hook etc.. Be careful to choose a pattern like a scarf if you are beginning to learn how to crochet as they tend to be easier. Don't choose a really bulky scarf because the yarn can become entangled in the hook, and can split up. Wool also is a yarn that shrinks when you wash it but there are a lot of patterns that require wool to make a felted finished product. Felting is crocheting or knitting a hat for example, and then washing it in a machine in hot water till it becomes felted. This is nice for beginners because when it shrinks up you cannot see the mistakes that you might make when you are just beginning. I have personally never felted anything. Whatever kind of yarn you are going to use you should buy enough yarn to finish the project. This is because the dye lots are not always the same color and if you run out of yarn your scarf could end up looking like 2 different colors. This happens if the dye lot isn't available that you started with? It is a good idea to keep the label that is around the yarn so that if you run out you can refer to the dye lot to see if they still have it in the store and also for instructions on how to care for the finished product. It is also important to buy enough yarn because it can sometimes be discontinued and you won't be able to finish your project if you run out of yarn. I have a website with a wide range of items that I crocheted that explain what kind of yarn I used to make them. I also list how to care for the items for example if they are machine wash and can be put in the dryer or need to be hand washed in cold water and dried flat.

Dogs do not have wool. No types of dogs have wool.

I have 16 balls of Azalea patonised knitting and crochet wool here and when I untwist it it becomes 2 strands....which in reading some of the other things about wool its actually 4 ply....now I am looking for a fairly plain simple knitting pattern to use it on.

No.

Rock wool is made from rock that has been melted and then forced through small holes to make long, fibrous strands. It does not contain any asbestos.

Even if the rock used in the beginning did contain asbestos (and that kind of rock is not used for this) the asbestos fibers would be melted and destroyed in the manufacturing process.
