01.Easy to shrink
When Merino wool is rubbed and kneaded, the wool fibers will stick together and a shrinkage reaction will occur (which is commonly referred to as shrinkage. 20% shrinkage is within the normal range.
02. Will pill
The better the crimp of the fiber, the easier it is to pill. During the friction process, some loose fibers will gradually separate from the main body of the yarn and become tangled together to form a hair ball.
03.High price
The price of Merino wool is relatively high compared to chemical fiber fabrics. For example, customized Merino wool clothing basically starts at US$500. Of course, if you want something cheaper, you can use wool blended with other chemical fibers.
04. Take care of the difficult
Knitted sweaters made of Merino wool generally need to be dry-cleaned. Because the wool will shrink and lose lint and pilling after washing, wool fabrics are relatively difficult to care for.
