What are the types of wool?
There are three classes of wool - fine, medium and carpet. Fine wool is usually short-staple wool of Merino fineness; medium wool, or mutton wool, is long and loosely crimped; and carpet wool is long, strong, coarse, and usually blended for uniformity.

Natural Fiber Products
It isn't always easy to find the all-natural products that you prefer, both for your home and for your wardrobe. Whether you're looking for children's bedding, women's clothing, men's leather jackets or a natural thread to complete a craft project- finding the right natural fiber products can make all the difference. Below are a few of the natural fiber products that we enjoy.
Big and tall men's leather jackets are fashionably styled, warm and well made. The men's calfskin coat is made of smooth calfskin and has a zip out liner, double collar, snap storm placket with hidden zipper and side slash welt pockets.
From casual to elegant, natural fiber clothing always offers just the right combination of comfort, style and luxury. In winter, nothing feels better then to pull on a cashmere sweater. Cashmere is the fine, soft under fleece of the cashmere goats native to the Himalayas, known for its softness and warm, cashmere often makes a great gift.
Nothing can be more satisfying than putting the final touches on a project you have been working on for weeks or even months. That sense of accomplishment and pride a well-done job brings is a feeling that cannot be matched. Needlepoint can be one of these types of projects; a creation of a finished piece of art you can display in your home. We recommend using single ply thread, which a blend of 50% silk and 50% Merino Wool in a twisted construction and is ideal for canvases from 16 count to 13 count. It can be worked into an 18-count canvas for a very compacted feel. A great alternative to tapestry wool for use in larger mesh canvases since its silk/wool blend gives it comparable durability qualities and its silk component gives it a subtle sheen unavailable from 100% wool. It is currently available in 70 colors on 28.8-yard skeins, 300-yard half-hanks or 600-yard hanks from TheNeedlePointer.com.
From clothing, needlepoint to home furnishings - natural fiber products can make your life more enjoyable.
