We often get asked how our wool feels. To lend quantifiable objectivity (!) to the discussion, Jane Laug, the Brahms Mount design director, has provided us with the following information valuable when describing different types of wool.
Micron
The diameter of wool fiber ranges from 10 to 70 microns. The finest grades of wool are 15-23 microns and generally go into the weaving of bespoke menswear fabrics. Medium grades of 24-30 microns go into woolen tweeds, flannels, soft coatings, and the like. Course grades of 30 microns or more are used for carpets, dense wool blankets, etc.
