woven wool

Textile from sheep

Woven wool is fabric made by interlacing wool yarns on a loom, as distinct from knitted wool.

The weaving produces a structured, stable cloth used for suits, coats, blankets, and upholstery: a woven wool blazer, woven wool tartan.

Woven wool typically has less stretch than knitted wool and holds its shape better.
