The itch you feel when you use coarse wool happens when the ends of the wool fiber rub against your skin. It can cause itching and sometimes even make your skin to break out in a rash. Temperature: Obviously you wonât be wearing a wool sweater in the middle of summer. 2  But if itâs winter and itâs hot in the room, that can make your sweater more itchy. 3  Skin conditions: If you already have a skin condition such as eczema, youâre probably more likely to itch, even if youâre wearing a high-quality wool.
A shorn ewe will be more likely to stay out of the wind and bad weather and protect her new-born lamb if she does not have a thick wool coat on her. 2. Fleece The shorn wool coat is called a fleece. It is also called grease wool because of all the oil and lanolin in the wool. This fleece must be cleaned before it can be processed into wool yarn. There is much vegetable matter, manure and natural oil that must be removed. Sometimes as much as 50% of the weight of the fleece is not wool. 3. Skirting a fleece The wool from the back end of the sheep, their legs and sometimes their belly is too full of manure to use.
