Women's wool

The page holds 66 live listings priced $50 to $499 AUD. Cardigans, pullovers, vests, berets, scarves and tunics make up the selection, and boiled wool appears among them. Merino is included. Women's Wool Cardigans is a page beneath it, and it contains pieces that are not on this page, so this page does not show every women's wool style.

Pilling, and what causes it

Pilling is the formation of fuzzy balls on the surface of wool clothing, sometimes called bobbling, according to The Woolmark Company. Rubbing during wear is what causes it. Turning wool clothes inside out before washing and skipping fabric softener both reduce it, The Woolmark Company recommends.

CABLE QUARTER ZIP PULLOVER FIELDS LADIES

Cable knit with a quarter zip

A women's wool pullover in a cable knit, opening at a quarter zip, sits in this collection. The page carries fine merino alongside denser boiled wool, which is where the range in weight comes from. Boiled wool starts as knitted wool that is then felted, closing the surface into a dense fabric that holds its shape.

Living with pills on a knit

The Woolmark Company observes that pilling shows up most commonly around the elbows, armpits, sleeves, belly and the sides of a jumper, which is simply where a garment rubs. A comb can be used with a very gentle touch, The Woolmark Company notes. No one can guarantee that pilling will not occur, it adds. The guide covers the rest.

Common questions

What are the best wool jumpers available in Australia?
No single wool jumper is the best one. Fibre and knit weight decide how warm a jumper is and how it wears, and intended use decides the rest. This page is the wider women's wool view, holding merino alongside boiled wool across cardigans, pullovers, vests, berets, scarves and tunics, with the shape pages beneath narrowing the same stock. When a wool jumper is not being worn, storing wool jumpers properly prevents moth damage and creasing.
What are the warmest wool jumpers?
Warmth follows the fibre and the knit. Medium weight wool carries more warmth and a more substantial knit than fine merino does. Boiled wool goes further again, felted until the surface closes into a dense fabric that holds its shape. The CABLE QUARTER ZIP PULLOVER FIELDS LADIES is one wool style on this page.
What is the best Australian wool brand?
Brands are not ranked here. What a wool garment is worth comes down to fibre quality and how it is knitted, and a label settles neither. Staff at Bourke St and at Glen Eira Rd talk that through in person, and either shop takes enquiries by phone.
