What is lambswool?
Lambswool is a soft, extra-fine wool sheared from the fleece of young sheep. Often used in high-quality clothing and accessories, it’s highly prized in the fashion industry for its lightweight feel and excellent insulating properties. From knitwear to scarves and accessories, it’s an upgraded fabric choice for cozy but breathable clothes – perfect for your fall/winter looks.

How to care for lambswool clothing
Taking extra care for your lambswool clothing will help maintain its softness, warmth and durability. Here are our top three hacks:
- Hand wash or gentle machine wash
For best use, hand wash our lambswool knits using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Putting it in the washer? Use the wool or delicate cycle.
- Use a wool-friendly detergent
Use a gentle, wool-specific detergent to help keep the fibers soft and strong. Also avoid any harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric.
- Remove pills gently
Over time, the wool may develop small pills – loose clumps of wool on the surface of the fabric. Use a fabric shaver or small scissors to maintain a smooth surface.

FAQs

What's the difference between lambswool and sheepswool?
- Although they both come from sheep, lambswool and sheepswool have distinct qualities. Lambswool is typically sourced from a lamb’s first shearing and is exceptionally soft and smooth, perfect for close-to-skin pieces like scarves and knitwear. On the other hand, sheepswool—taken from adult sheep—is coarser and thicker, with a tougher fiber composition great for heavy-duty pieces like outerwear and blankets.
