Thick pure wool yarn

Thick pure wool yarn

　　Thick pure wool yarn is a specialty of Qinghai and one of the region’s well-known crafts. It generally refers to yarn spun from wool, as well as yarn spun from a blend of wool and synthetic fibers or from synthetic fibers alone. The yarn has a linear density of around 400 tex, typically composed of four strands, with each strand having a linear density of about 100 tex. High-grade thick pure wool yarn is spun from fine wool and is quite expensive. Medium-grade thick pure wool yarn is made from medium-quality wool. This type of yarn has a thicker count, greater strength, and a full hand feel. Sweaters knitted with it are thick, warm, and commonly used as cold-resistant winter clothing.
