Wool identity and named descriptions
Sheep wool is the fiber family. Supply or test records support Merino, lambswool, recycled wool and other named descriptions, while the destination market determines fiber-percentage and label wording.
Direct answer
LuMiao develops and delivers sheep-wool knitwear in pure and blended yarn directions, including products recorded with worsted-spun wool. Fiber identity, yarn route, structure, finishing, dimensions and care are confirmed as one project result.
Woollen and worsted yarn routes
Woollen and worsted describe processing systems with different yarn and surface directions. LuMiao aligns the selected route with fiber grade, yarn count, ply, twist, blend, color and the intended knitted result.
Structure and finish shape the outcome
Compact base layers, rib, cable, open structures and wool blends create different density, recovery, edge and finishing requirements. Yarn review and sampling establish garment weight, bulk, drape and surface.
Approve the complete garment
Swatches help compare yarn, color, structure and hand feel, while the full sample confirms neckline recovery, openings, balance, seams or linking, measurements and the interaction of trims or other components with the knit.
Relaxation, felting and dimensional review
Relaxation shrinkage and wool felting follow different mechanisms. The project defines the relevant preparation, washing, drying and measurement route, then confirms dimensional behavior and care on the developed garment.
Claims that remain project-confirmed
Merino or lambswool identity, fiber diameter or grade, woollen or worsted route, origin, recycled content, shrink-resist treatment, certification, pilling or dimensional result and care instruction require the corresponding project evidence.
BUYER QUESTIONS
What does worsted wool describe?
Worsted describes a yarn-processing route. The project specification records the sheep-wool identity, grade, composition and yarn construction selected for the garment.
How is machine washability established for wool knitwear?
LuMiao evaluates the complete material, construction and finish under the selected care route, then issues the supported care instruction for the finished garment.
What material decisions should be fixed before a wool sample is approved?
Confirm the fiber declaration, named wool claim when used, yarn count and ply, color, stitch and gauge direction, target surface and weight, garment measurements, finish, required tests and care direction.
How is dimensional change controlled in wool knitwear?
The agreed garment is measured under a defined preparation, washing and drying route. The approved sample, measurements and care conditions become the production reference.
