Knitwear is not only an expression of style and comfort, the choice of fibre also has a fundamental effect on how it feels, stays in shape over time and influences the environment. Natural fibres are also very comfortable and environmentally friendly in most cases. Here's a look at some of the most popular natural fibres used in knitwear
1. Wool
Wool is a classic fibre for warmth and long-lasting knitwear. It varies in softness and warmth. All merino wool is soft, very fine, makes the best base layer and ideal for sensitive skin. Cashmere is luxurious, soft, and light, but it offers great warmth. Lamb Wool is known to be comfortable, hypo-allergenic, and perfect for the most sensitive skin.
.Alpaca fibres are soft, water-repellent, and warmer than wool, making them excellent for cosy, high-quality knitwear.
