At present, animal hair fibers used in the wool fabrics on the market include sheep wool, goat wool, camel wool and rabbit hair. The wool textiles woven with these fibers have been varied. Due to its different texture and content, the feeling of wearing and the effect are naturally different. If you have some understanding and identification of the raw materials of various wool fabrics, it will be good for you to choose to buy and achieve the desired wearing effect.
Sheep wool
The sweaters, woolen cloths, felts, etc., which are used by people with the largest amount of daily use, are mainly sheep wools that are densely covered by sheep. In the weaving industry, "wool" has become the short name for sheep wool because of the largest amount of sheep wool.
The countries with the most sheep wool production in the world are Australia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, New Zealand, Argentina and China. The sheep areas in China are mainly concentrated in pastoral areas such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Qinghai, as well as semi-agricultural and pastoral areas such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Ning, Sichuan, and Northeast China. These areas are classified into improved fine wool sheep and unmodified native sheep. The number and grade of wool are the basis for assessing the grade and quality of wool. The higher the count, the better the quality. The higher the grade, the worse the quality.

The "Australian wool," which has always been admired by people in the sheep's hair, belongs to the Merino breeder sheep and is produced in Australia. Its wool fiber is thin and long, and it is the best breed among sheep. Others, such as New Zealand, South America, European countries, and the Southern Alps, have been raised and have a reputation in the world.
Selangor hair is also a common species. Selangor was originally called Snowland wool and was named after the snow islands of Scotland, England. Due to the fact that the selaginella is mainly composed of fluff and mixed with coarse hairs and bristles, this natural mixture of fine and fine hairs forms the characteristic plump, fluffy, soft and delicate, and better luster and elasticity of the seolium wool fabric. Has a rough style. However, due to the lack of production of Selangor, the demand for "Syran-blue sweaters" on the market is based on New Zealand's semi-fine wool. Some of them are also known as “Shenlan Mao†sweaters. The selling price is less than one hundred yuan or even only a few tens of yuan. It is actually a snow-and-blue wool-like product, and some “snow-blue hairs†are made from a variety of wool. Only rough wool can be used and the price is cheaper.
In addition, sheep's fur, which is inexpensive and popular with consumers, is actually a lamb's wool, which has a thicker feel and is made of wool.
Mountain Wool
Goat wool refers to shag and dead hair that were cut from goat wool. Generally, the fine hairs on the goatskin are very short and cannot be spun. The hairs can only be made with brushes, brushes and the like, except mohair. Mohair is the angola goat wool, produced in Turkey's Angolan province, North America and South Asia, is a kind of high-quality wool fiber, smooth surface, very little curling, long and thick, with silky soft and strong luster, excellent back Elasticity, abrasion resistance and high strength are the ideal raw materials for high-quality fabrics such as jacquard felts, plush, smooth coats and artificial furs. The thick, needle-knit, mohair sweaters, clothed with soft, silky, mist-like fibers, form a noble, lively and rugged style of clothing and are loved by people. The Zhongweishan wool in northwest China also belongs to mohair. However, in the market, some people have sold fluffy acrylic fiber as "mohair" for sale, causing misunderstanding that such an acrylic fiber can be called "imitation mohair" at best.

Alpaca
Alpaca (Alpaca), also known as "camel wool," is 20 to 40 centimeters long and is white, brown, gray, black, and other colors. Since 90% of it is produced in Peru, it is also called "Peruvian wool." Its two varieties, one is fiber curl, has a silvery luster, the other is a fiber straight, less curly, with a similar mohair luster, often blended with other fibers, as a high-quality clothing materials. The camel wool currently on the market is mostly produced in Eastern Europe.
Rabbit hair
Rabbit hair is popular for its light, fine, soft, warmth-keeping, and low-cost features. It is made up of fine fluff and coarse hair, consisting mainly of ordinary rabbits and Angora rabbit hair, and the quality of the latter is excellent. The difference between rabbit hair and wool is that the fibers are slender and the surface is particularly smooth and easy to identify. Due to the low strength of rabbit hair, it is not easy to spin individual yarns. Therefore, it is blended with wool or other fibers and made into knitwear, ladies' jackets and overcoats.

What is pure wool?
In the market, people often see wool products with "pure wool" or "100%" wool two signs, some people think that "pure hair" is equal to "100% wool", it is not true. Literally, "pure wool" should be 100% wool. In fact, in the production process, in order to improve the textile performance of the fiber, the fabric is more durable, and some products often have to add some non-wool fibers of polyester or nylon. With regard to the amount of additions, there are clear provisions in the national standards. In this way, we will understand. Pure wool products are not 100% wool, and those that are marked with pure wool products have been added with non-hair fibers in accordance with the stipulated scope, and therefore should be lower in price than 100% wool products.
In short, we must buy satisfactory wool textiles in an increasingly prosperous market. Apart from trying to identify things by means of reading, touching, asking, and comparing, we can analyze them from the price point. Of course, the safest thing is to constantly increase understanding of product knowledge.
