What is the Difference Between Regular Wool and Wool Tweed?

Wool is an all-encompassing fabric category and wool tweed fabric is a specific type of wool. It can be distinguished from regular wool by its woven pattern, as wool tweed fabrics all feature a twill, herringbone, checkered, or similar pattern.

What Seasons Are Ideal for Wearing Wool Tweed?

Because it is thick, coarse, and a great insulator, wool tweed fabric is ideal for the winter season and colder months.

Advantages of Wool Tweed Fabric:

  • It is extremely durable and damage-resistant
  • Soft and flexible to work with

  • It’s a weather-resistant fabric

How to Best Work with Wool Tweed Fabric:

  • Be sure to cut pattern pieces in the same direction due to the woven pattern
  • Allow the fabric to settle after cutting pattern pieces before sewing
