I want to make a couple of lightweight and medium weight items but am having a hard time finding the right fabric. I am looking for wool or wool/poly blends that can go through the washing machine. I found a source in NZ but shipping makes the cost per yard prohibitive.
1. Is is possible to find this domestically in the USA?
2. If so, what weight should I be looking for for a medium weight long underwear top?
3. What is the "non-outdoor gear" name for this type of fabric?
I have tried going to my local fabric store but all of that wool is dry clean only and the sheer range of different types of wool makes it hard for me to know what I should get.
**I'd love to see a guide to wool article written by those who have spent their careers working with the fabric!**
Thanks for any suggestions!
