wool blends
Sheep-plus fabric combinations
Wool blends are fabrics that combine wool with other fibers—cotton, polyester, silk, or synthetics—to balance wool's warmth and texture against cost, durability, or ease of care.
A blend might be softer, less prone to shrinking, or more affordable than pure wool: This sweater is a wool blend, so you can machine wash it.
