Shirt weight tightly woven fabric in deep blue with lines running parallel to the selvage. The pattern repeats just over 5/16". The fabric is made of superfine 130 wool for Reda in Italy. The material is 58 inches wide and 6 oz per linear yard.
Worsted wool refers to a type of wool that has been combed to ensure that the fibers are parallel, resulting in a smooth and fine yarn. This process creates a firmer and more durable fabric which often presents a cleaner, more polished appearance.
Worsted wool super numbers represent the fineness of the wool fiber used in the fabric. The higher the number, such as Super 100s, 120s, or 150s, the finer and lighter the wool thread is.
