Here is some more basic info worsted vs woolen wool yarn.
Worsted and woolen yarn are two different methods of spinning and preparing wool fibers for use in yarn. The main differences between worsted and woolen yarn are their texture, appearance, and use.
Worsted yarn is made from long-staple fibers that have been combed to lie parallel to each other. This creates a smooth, tight, and dense yarn that is ideal for garments and accessories that need to drape well and show stitch definition. Worsted yarn is also generally less prone to pilling and is more durable than woolen yarn.
Woolen yarn, on the other hand, is made from shorter fibers that are carded and spun without being combed. This creates a loftier and bulkier yarn with a softer, more woolly texture. Woolen yarn is ideal for garments and accessories that need to be warm and cozy, such as hats, scarves, and blankets.
It's also worth noting that worsted and woolen yarn can be blended to create yarns with a combination of the properties of both types. For example, a worsted-weight woolen yarn may have a tighter spin than a traditional woolen yarn, but still retain some of the softness and loftiness of woolen yarn.
When selecting yarn for a project, it's important to consider the desired properties of the finished product, such as drape, stitch definition, and warmth, and choose the appropriate type of yarn, whether it be worsted or woolen, to achieve those desired properties.
