After very large woven sheets of wool fabric are dyed or not and have a design on them, they are boiled and shrunk without the use of any chemicals. Because of this and other factors, boiled wool is very warm and usually does not itch. References references fabric textile stub Category Fabrics it Lana cotta ... more details
