Common questions
Is a wool shirt itchy?
Coarser wool can be. Merino and lambswool shirts feel much softer. A cotton tee underneath helps if your skin is sensitive.
Can you wash a wool shirt?
Many can be hand washed in cool water. Some need dry cleaning. Follow the label, and never tumble dry on high heat.
Is flannel wool?
Flannel is a brushed fabric that can be wool or cotton. The original flannel was wool.
