Worsted

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006661

A type of high-quality wool yarn or fabric made from long-staple wool fibers that have been combed to remove shorter fibers and align them parallel. This process results in a smooth, strong, and fine yarn with a crisp hand and excellent drape. Worsted fabrics are known for their durability and clear, defined weave patterns, often used in suiting.
