It combines the best parts of the two yarns to provide the perfect fusion of benefits. It can offer a balance between the yarns, for instance in cases where a yarn may be stronger when mixed with a lighter yarn, results in one that is both soft and sturdy.

Wool Bend Yarn FAQs

What Are Wool Blends Used for?

Wool blends are usually a little smoother than basic wool, given the fact it has been combined with synthetic fibre. In some cases, the wool can be combined with silk too, which makes the material softer. Based on the blend, wool blends can have various applications.

One of the benefits of adding synthetics to wool is its water-wicking and quick-drying abilities - this makes the material suitable for projects that may encounter water - this could be a light jacket or sports clothing. Synthetic fibres are also quite resistant against pilling and abrasions, which makes them even more suitable for the creation of clothing.

Of course, crafters are not obligated to use wool blends in clothing, but it is an excellent application for it. Nevertheless, wool blends could technically be used in most of your crafting projects.

What Does the Word "Ply" Mean For Wool Blends?

When you look at some of the product names of wool blends in our catalogue, you will often see the word "ply". Ply is a word used by manufacturers to indicate wool that consists of two or more single yarns twisted together. For example, if you find a product that says it is two-ply yarn, it means it consists of two different strands.

The ply count does have a purpose where your wool blends are concerned. Usually, the higher the ply count, the stronger your wool is. So, if you are working on a project where durability is a must, then you should be looking for wool blends with the highest ply count.
