Knitting was very popular a few years ago, when any house wives or young girls
could knit a sweater, a dress, or even a suit for every day wear. Nowadays
there is lots of wool in the shops as well as needles are.
The most valued properties of the wool are insulator, water repellant,
and absorber. Wool keeps body warm by catching strings of air among the
threads in the fabric and creating a strong warm air-layer. Much depends
on needles. This warm air-layer remains in the wool fibers for a long time,
keeping one’s body warm and the fresh air away. That is why so many
people prefer natural wool sweaters to the synthetic acrylic sweaters for
the winter time. Kohls

the right cabled v-neck sweater and please one’s taste in every way.
By the way, one can find a great variety if needles there.
Besides a warming quality, a cabled V-neck sweater made of wool is water-repellant,
which is the second valued property of the wool. Because of its fiber structure,
wool can prevent small amounts of water from coming through the fabric.
The water drops either stay on the surface of the fabric or run off from
it when contact occurs. On the other hand, if too much water gets on a
wool sweater, it will absorb the water instantly, keeping the body dryer
and cooler when a person is sweating. If thick needles are used for knitting,
the sweater will be light and rather cold.
Other valuable properties of a sweater are also given to wool – durability
and flammability. According to Audible.com
Coupon, wool can take up to 20,000 bents
without braking, while rayon, a synthetic fabric, can only be bent 75 times
and cotton 3,000 times without damaging the material. Therefore, wool is
a much more durable and flexible fabric compare to rayon and cotton. As
far as flammability, wool is resistant to the fire and stops burning as
soon as fire is put out on the fabric.
