No one does wool better!C h a r a c t e r i s t i c sWool, quite simply, is the hair ofsheep. Like human hair, it ismade of the protein keratin.Examined under a microscope,the naturally crimped wool fibersreveal a structure of overlappingscales–arranged much like thelayers of a pine cone. These arecovered by a thin, waxy membrane that repels rain but absorbsperspiration. Inside the scaly layerare cells made of molecules incoiled chains. This structureallows the fiber to expand andcontract providing the elasticitythat makes wool so comfortableand resilient.Fine Wool FiberMagnified 500XVirgin wool is the cornerstone ofPendleton quality. This is woolfiber that has never been previously spun or woven into fabric.Pendleton never uses recycledwool because many of the qualitiesthat make wool so desirable arediminished by the process.Wool is natu rally res i l i e n t.You can count on a wool garmentto hold its shape, resist wrinkles,and withstand wear. Resiliencegives wool its excellent drapingability and contributes to its“loft” or thickness. Whencrushed, wool springs back toshape, maintaining an open andporous surface that traps air(about 80% of its volume) andmakes wool an excellent insulator.It will keep you warm in winterand cool in summer.Wool is natu rally co mfo rta b l e.Combine wool’s insulating qualitywith its natural ability to shedwater and you get a fabric thatkeeps you warm, even when it’sFine Wool Fleece1/3 Actual Size

And its ability tobreathe lets your body’s naturalmoisture pass through for daylong comfort.Wool is natu rally dura b l e.Because it’s naturally resilient,wool resists tearing and it canbend back on itself 20,000 timeswithout breaking. (Cotton breaksafter only 3,200 bendings!) Thescaly fibers give wool fabrics goodabrasion resistance and wool’shigh absorbency means staticelectricity, which attracts dirt anddust, is rarely a problem!Wool is natu rally fl a m e reta rd a n t.It burns slowly in a direct flameand self-extinguishes whenremoved.Wool is natu rally ve rsa t i l e.No other natural fiber can bespun or woven into such a varietyof fabric weights and texturessuitable for a wide array of clothing,blankets, and accessories. Itssuper absorbency means wooltakes and holds dye beautifullyand its resilience makes it an easyfabric to tailor. You couldn’t askfor more from wool–the fiber forall seasons.Teflon Fabric ProtectorIncreased soil and water resistance result when wool fabrics are treated withTeflon—the same coating you’ll find in your favorite nonstick frying pan! Thisinvisible finish is bonded to the fabric at the molecular level. You won’t see orfeel any difference in the fabric’s hand and appearance, but on close examinationyou’ll notice that spills bead up on the surface and roll right off. Seeing is believing!Easier care, fewer dry cleaning costs, and better protection all mean added valuein Teflon-treated wool garments.Wool yarns are used to create a wide variety of wool fabrics–fromflannel shirting, soft knits, and fuzzy melton cloth to smooth-surfacedworsted suitings and classic gabardines. The type of wool yarn used–woolen or worsted–often distinguishes the fabric’s ultimate appearance,performance and care. The broad assortment of wool fabrics providedby woolen and worsted technologies make it possible to select woolgarments that span the seasons and life’s many activities in comfort.Woolen FabricWoolen FlannelWoolen fabrics are made fromyarns spun from wool fibers thatvary in length from 1” to 3”.After carding the raw wool–untangling and combing it to lineup the short, fuzzy fibers–it is spuninto yarns with low or mediumtwist. The resulting yarns and thefabrics woven from them have asoft, textured hand. They mayalso look and feel fuzzy andwarm. Easy-to-tailor woolens areavailable in a range of fabrics fromsoft knits to flannels, tweeds, andcoating fabrics.Worsted wool fabrics are madefrom finer wool fibers–generally 3”to 5” long. Additional combingand a tighter yarn twist ensure asmooth, relatively fuzz-free yarn.The resulting worsted yarns arewoven into wool fabrics that arecrisp and smooth-surfaced andgenerally lighter in weight thanwoolens. That makes them perfectfor spring and summer wear inparticular. Examples includegabardine, lightweight wool suiting,and wool challis. Long-wearing,worsted wool fabrics hold a creasewell and retain shape.Worsted FabricWorsted Twill

1011G e n e r a lC a r eWith the proper care, wool garmentsand hats will provide years of wearingcomfort. Take good care of yourwool blankets and they could end upcherished heirlooms to pass on tofuture generations. Here are somecare tips for your wools. Unless soiled, most wool garments and blankets require cleaningonly once or twice a year. Examineperiodically for hidden stains. Always follow the cleaninginstructions provided on thegarment care label. Allow at least 24 hours betweenwearings. Wool’s natural resiliencyhelps shed the wearing wrinklesand returns garments to theiroriginal shape. Remove surface soil and revivesurface nap by brushing woolgarments lengthwise with a garmentbrush. It is particularly importantto brush garments made withheavily napped surfaces on aregular basis. Revive finer woolfabrics with a damp sponge instead. Do not press over stains. Theheat can set the stain. Spot clean,dry clean or launder first.F o rW o o lC l e a n i n g When traveling, cover woolD ry Clean or Wa s h?garments on hangers with plasticdry cleaners’ bags to help avoidunnecessary wrinkling. On arrival,remove the bags and refresh thegarments quickly by hanging in asteamy bathroom. Store garments in a closet withplenty of air and plenty of spaceso they can breathe. Zip zippersand fasten the top button to avoidunnecessary wrinkles. To retain garment shape, useshaped coat and suit hangers fortailored jackets and shirts; usepadded hangers for blouses anddresses. To preserve shoulder shape andprevent unnecessary stretching,fold sweaters carefully and storein drawers or on a closet shelf.Alternatively, fold and hang overa padded or tubular hanger bar. If you’re caught in the rain,hang damp wool clothing out ofdirect heat and sunlight to dry.Brush when dr y.Wool cleaning options includedry cleaning, hand washing, ormachine washing. If the label says“Dry Clean Only,” take the garmentto a professional dry cleaner forthe very best results. To avoidshrinkage and damage to the handof the fabric, do not machine wash!A tailored garment with shoulderpads and lining should only be drycleaned in order to preserve theinner construction and shapingfor longer, more attractive wear.Many linings are not washable aswell. And, when having your finewool garments dry cleaned,always be sure to check aroundfor a reputable dry cleaner.Hand Washing Wo o lIf the care label says “hand wash,”handle garments carefully. Toohot water and too much agitationcan cause irreversible shrinkage.Follow these guidelines for bestresults: Before washing knits, takegarment length and width measurements at several places, includingthe shoulders, chest, sleeves andW o o l shem edges, so that you can resizeit when damp. Use a mild detergent in enoughlukewarm water to cover thegarment completely. NO BLEACHplease. Immerse the garment and allowto soak for 3 to 5 minutes. Squeezegently to force water and sudsthrough the garment. DO NOTWRING, TWIST, OR SCRUB. Rinse thoroughly, using two ormore rinses of clear, cool water toremove all trace of soap. Squeeze gently to removeexcess water before lifting fromthe sink. Arrange the garment betweentwo terry cloth towels and roll.Allow to rest a few minutes toabsorb remaining water. Lay the garment flat, reshapingas needed and allow to dry awayfrom direct heat and sunlight.Turn the garment over when thetop is dry so the remaining sidecan dry. DO NOT HANG to dry;wet wool stretches easily from theweight of the remaining moisturein the fibers. Lightly press if needed, using asteam iron and a wool press cloth.

1213P r e s s i n gMachine Washable Wo o l sWashable wool makes life easier than ever and is a wardrobe option for someoften-worn garments such as sweaters and shirts. Washable wool fabricsreceive a resin finish which allows them to be safely machine washed inplace of the usual hand washing or dry cleaning.The convenience of caring for these garments is a natural choice with thedemands of today’s busy lifestyles. Be sure to check the label for this optionto save time and cleaning costs.CoordinatingGarments?A Word to the WiseIf the Label SaysDry Clean, Can I WashMy Wool Shirt?Since any cleaning method can resultWhen a wool shirt carries the “dryin mild color and surface changes, it’sclean” care label, you can generallyimportant to use the same carebet that it hasn’t been treated formethod for matching wardrobe pieceswashability.

A good ironwith plenty of steam is essential. Make sure the ironing boardcover is clean and firmly padded. Add water to your iron, but don’toverfill it. Set for WOOL in theSTEAM range. To avoid water spotting and potential surface damage,allow iron to heat thoroughly.(If water does drip and spots yourwool garment, take it to the drycleaner for steaming to removewater spotting.) Press as much as possible onthe inside of the garment to avoidsurface shine and a worn look.For top pressing, use a presscloth. Special wool-fabric presscloths are available in notionsdepartments of most fabric stores.Or, substitute a soft, white men’shandkerchief or other lightweightcotton cloth. When pressing lightweightworsted suits, avoid using asteamer. Use a steam iron and apress cloth instead. Apply pressureS t e a m i n gwith the iron for a smoother surface and crisp edges. For a reallyprofessional look, tuck white paperstrips under the seam edges toavoid seam imprints. Steamers aregreat for easing wearing wrinklesout of woolen fabrics with moretexture and surface interest.What About Scorch andPress Shine? The best defenseis a careful hand with the iron toavoid heat damage to the surfaceof your fabric. Always use steamheat, not dry. But if scorch or shineshould happen, the followingtreatments might help.S c o r c h . If the fabric is nappedand only lightly scorched, rubvery lightly with an emery boardto lightly scrape away thescorched fiber ends. For heavierscorch, apply a diluted solution ofhydrogen peroxide (test first on ahidden seam). Flush thoroughlywith cool water and air dry.Shine. Sponge with white vinegarand rinse thoroughly with coolwater.

1415C a r eS y m b o l sS t a i nR e m o v a lFederal Trade Commission (FTC) rules require that finished garments, as well as fabrics thatare to be made into garments, carry a label with care information. Now care information maybe represented by care symbols, developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM). You will need to understand these symbols in order to care for your wool garments inthe recommended manner. There are five basic symbols.WashBleachAdding other symbols to thebasic five makes it possible togive a wide range of care instructions for a multitude of fabrics.Here are some tips to help youtranslate the new care symbols:Do Not DrycleanAn X through any of the fivemeans that the method is aninappropriate choice. For example, an X through a circle means“Do Not Dry Clean.”Hand Wash, WarmA hand above a wash basinmeans “Hand Wash.”Only Non-ChlorineBleach When NeededA triangle with diagonal linesthrough it indicates that youshould only use non-chlorinebleach, when needed.DryIronDry CleanAdding one or more dots to thewash, dry or iron symbols indicatesthe temperature. More dots meanhigher temperatures.Steam Iron, LowTwo diagonal lines (which looklike feet) beneath the iron symbolindicate that steam is required.Dry FlatA horizontal line inside thesquare dry symbol means dry flat.Tumble Dry, Low, Gentle CycleA circle inside the square symbolmeans tumble dr y. And, twolines beneath the dry symboldirect you to use a gentle cycle.Although wool is naturally soilrepellent, accidents do happen. Quickaction is the best defense. It’s easierto remove most food and beveragestains while they are still fresh. Treat stains promptly to preventsetting. Blot, don’t rub, using aclean white tissue or soft cloth toremove as much as possible. Take garments with stubbornstains to the dry cleaner as soonas possible–within a day or two isbest. Be sure to identify thesource of the stain and point outthe location. Avoid pressing stained or soiledgarments. Iron heat can make stainspermanent or difficult to remove. Chemical stains–dyes, ink, nailpolish, paint, correction fluid,paint, and shoe polish–are themost difficult to remove and themost damaging. Take these to thedry cleaner.Keep a bottle of stain-removalsolution on hand for emergenciesbut make sure it is safe for use onwool. Chocolate, cosmetics, andoily-based stains respond best.Do not use hot water on any ofthese stains as it may set them orcause the dyes to spread. Followthe package directions and thefollowing precautions: First, test the solution on a seamallowance or other inconspicuousplace to make sure the dye iscolorfast. Place the right side of the garment against an absorbent papertowel or cloth. To keep the stain from spreading,work from the outer edges towardthe center of the stain. To preventsurface damage to the fabric, avoidrubbing. Instead, dab or blot thearea with an up and down motion.DO NOT RUB.

1617H a t s / B l a n k e t sC a r eKeeping Wool Hats in Top ShapeWool’s natural ability to repel waterand soil make it the perfect choicefor a hat. Wool felt and fabrichats require some special care. Brush regularly to remove loosesoil or lint. Choose either a lintbrush or a soft natural bristlebrush or try a dry natural sponge.If the hat is felt, brush around thehat in one direction. To remove stains, spot cleanwith a commercial spot remover.Test first in an inconspicuous areaof the hat. Check the inner hat band periodically for soiling. Ask a tailor ordressmaker to replace a heavilysoiled fabric hat band. Somewestern shops or dry cleaners maybe able to replace leather ones. For added protection and wearingcomfort, treat your hat with acommercial water repellent/soilresistant spray. Read the label tobe sure it can be used on wool. Allow a damp wool hat to dryat room temperature. Smoothinto shape while still damp.Support the shape with crumpledtissue paper while it dries. Brushonly when completely dr y.Caring for Wool BlanketsTo preserve the beauty of yourwool blanket or throw, you’llwant to take special care of it.Have your wool blankets dr ycleaned. It’s the best method forretaining the size, shape, hand,and appearance.W o o lS t o r a g eWool is much loved by several speciesof moths and carpet beetles, whofind it a tasty meal. An ounce ofprevention goes a long way towardprotecting your wool items fromthese uninvited guests.The clothes moth–a harmlesslooking little buff-colored critterwith fringed wings–is the mostcommon wool pest. It loves thedark interior of your closet whereit lays its eggs. The hatching larvae–tiny white worms that hide in thefabric–are the real culprits whochew their way through yourfavorite slacks or jacket with greatgusto, leaving unsightly holesbehind. Since the larval stage canlast from a few weeks to over ayear, the potential for damage toyour favorite clothes is ongoing.Wearing and brushing your woolclothing is one defense. Taking afew preventive measures willT i p sensure that you don’t provide anoff-season dining spot for theseunwanted pests. Clean everything before storingyour wool clothing for extendedperiods. If you are storing otherout-of-season clothes with yourwools, make sure they are cleantoo. Food stains and invisible bodyoils attract moths. They mightnot munch on your unlaunderedacrylic shirt, but they’re sure tofind your very best wool jackethanging right alongside it. Drycleaning will kill and remove anymoth eggs and larvae. Laundering(if appropriate) also removes themfrom wools. Store clean clothing and blanketsin airtight bags or containers. Foldlightweight, delicate, or stretchyknits, adding tissue paper betweenfolds to prevent creases.

1819 For added protection, usemothballs or moth crystals asdirected on the package. Don’tput them directly on the wool;suspend them in small, looselywoven cloth bags above the garments. After storage, air clothingoutside to remove any residualmothball odor. To help retain shape, tuck tissuepaper inside wool hats and storein a hatbox. If you find signs of insectdamage, clean garments hangingnear by to remove remaining eggsand larvae; be sure to vacuum thecloset. Check garments periodicallyto make sure you are rid of thelarvae and brush clothes regularlyduring the wearing season.Cedar AlertContrary to popular belief, the best defense against moths and other wool-eatinginsects is not cedar. Cedar oil in closets and chests may repel moths, but onlywhen the odor is strong. It won’t stop them dead in their tracks. That goes forherbal sachets and other products that rely on a fragrance to repel insects.S e w i n gW i t hPendleton has a history ofencouraging home sewing andoffering fine wool yardage.Wool is easy to tailor because itresponds to heat and steam. It iseasy to shape darts and curvedseams, and ease out excess fullness when setting in sleeves. Theusually thicker, fuzzier surface ofwoolen fabrics hides minor sewingimperfections and it’s easy to set acrease in smooth-surfaced worsteds.P re p a ration, Cu tting, andSewing Ti ps Pendleton wool fabrics havebeen sponged or preshrunk.Steaming by a dry cleaner or witha home steamer will remove anyresidual shrinkage. To steam athome, work on a large, flat,padded surface. Steam the fabricand allow it to relax and drybefore moving it. If the entirepiece won’t fit on the work surface, steam a section and allow todry completely before rearrangingand steaming the remainder.W o o l When sewing with a plaid, besure to choose a pattern that isappropriate for plaids. Check the“Suggested Fabrics” list on thepattern envelope. Buy enoughfabric so you can match the linesfrom one garment section to thenext. In general, add the length ofone full plaid pattern to each yardof fabric required. Fusible interfacings are anexcellent choice for tailored woolgarments. Test first on a scrap tochoose the best one for your fabric. For less bulk and smootheredges, grade or layer the seamallowances–such as in collars orfront facings. Also, trim seams to1/4” on turned-up hemallowances.P ress Wool as You SewCareful pressing is the key tosuccess. Don’t rush; underpressingmakes your wool garment lookhomemade. Overpressing resultsin seam imprints, iron shine, oreven scorching.

20You’ll need a few special tools: A steam iron, preferably with a“shot of steam” feature foradequate moisture to set seamsand creases and mold in shape. A tailor’s ham for pressingcurved, shaped areas such ascollars and lapels and for moldingdarts to fit your shape. A seam roll for pressing seamsopen without making visibleseam edge impressions throughto the right side of the garment. A point presser for getting intocollar corners and hard-to-reachplaces. A clapper or pounding block toforce steam into wool afterpressing to help flatten seamsand edges. A press cloth, preferably wool,for pressing on the right side.For best results and aprofessionally pressed garment: First, press all seams flat, thenpress open over a seam roll or arolled terry cloth towel, using thetip of the iron along the seamline. Tuck a folded strip of whitepaper under seam and hem edgesto avoid imprints. Avoid press shine and othersurface damage by using a presscloth between the steam iron andthe garment right side. Use an up and down pressingmotion rather than sliding the ironback and forth; press lightly. Press darts and curved seamsover a curve on a pressing ham toshape the garment. Set the press with a clapper.Steam press, then replace the ironwith the wooden clapper andapply pressure to force the steaminto the fibers. The wood will helpcool the new shape into the fabric. When pressing napped fabrics,place a piece of the same fabric ora thick terry cloth towel on theironing board to prevent crushingthe nap.This information booklet is provided by Pendleton Woolen Mills as a service to educators, students,retail personnel, and consumers.
