woolen fabrics
Sheep-derived cloth goods
Woolen fabrics are textiles woven or knitted from wool yarn—the fiber sheared from sheep and similar animals.
The term encompasses everything from fine merino suiting to coarse tweeds and blankets.
Woolen typically describes fabrics with a soft, fuzzy texture, as opposed to worsted fabrics, which are smoother and more tightly woven from combed wool.
