wool blend
Sheep and synthetic
A wool blend is a fabric combining wool with other fibers—cotton, polyester, silk, or synthetics—to achieve specific qualities like durability, softness, or reduced cost.
The term appears on clothing labels to indicate the garment isn't pure wool: This sweater is a wool blend, 60% wool and 40% acrylic.
