Wool Worsted Yarn - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Wool Worsted Yarn is a wool yarn produced by combing process, with fiber length of 30-50 mm, fineness of 18-25 μm (Merino wool as the main material), yarn count of 40-80 (Ne), high strength (breaking strength>10 cN/tex), low hairiness (hairiness index<3, hairiness above 3 mm<50/m) and uniformity (CV value<15%), widely used in high-end textiles such as suits, sweaters and coats. It is made of Merino wool (produced in Australia or New Zealand, fineness<20 μm) or blended materials (such as wool + silk, ratio 70:30), produced by combing (removing short fibers<20 mm), drawing (uniformity of yarn weight ±2%), spinning (twist coefficient 300-400) and post-treatment (steaming and setting, shrinkage<3%). For example, in high-end suits, 60s worsted yarn provides a delicate feel (friction coefficient<0.3) and good drape (drape coefficient >0.8); in sweaters, its warmth (thermal conductivity<0.04 W/m·K) and breathability (water vapor permeability >8000 g/m²/24h) improve wearing comfort. Production requires fiber length testing (average length deviation<5%) and yarn strength testing (breaking strength >8 cN/tex).

The advantages of wool worsted yarn are quality and comfort, and supporters believe that it is suitable for high-end textiles. For example, its low hairiness and high uniformity ensure a smooth fabric surface (roughness Ra<5 μm), which enhances the business sense of suits; the balance of warmth and breathability (30%-40% higher than cotton) is suitable for wearing in all seasons. However, critics point out that it is expensive, with 60s merino worsted yarn costing about $20-50 per kilogram, much higher than ordinary cotton yarn ($5-10/kg), pushing up clothing costs (about $500-1000 for a suit); it is easy to shrink (the shrinkage rate can reach 10%-15% without shrink-proof treatment), and requires special care (hand wash or dry cleaning, care costs about $10-20/time); in addition, wool may cause allergies (about 5%-10% of the population is allergic to wool protein), which limits the use of some consumers.

In terms of the market, the demand for wool worsted yarn is related to high-end clothing and sustainable fashion trends. The European market (Italy and the UK) is dominated by the demand for high-end menswear (the market size is expected to be $5 billion in 2025), and brands such as Zegna use 18.5 μm merino yarn to produce top-grade suits. The Asian market (China and Japan) is growing rapidly, and China's wool yarn production is expected to exceed 100,000 tons in 2025. Brands such as Hengyuanxiang have launched blended worsted yarn (priced at $15-30/kg). Australia is the main raw material producer (Merino wool accounts for 70% of the world's total), with an export volume of over 300,000 tons per year. However, the market faces fluctuations in wool prices (estimated to be $10-15 per kilogram in 2025), animal welfare disputes (the shearing process may cause concern), and competition from synthetic fibers (polyester yarn is $2-5 per kilogram).

In the future, wool worsted yarn may focus more on sustainability and functionality. The development of a traceable supply chain (blockchain technology to track the source of wool) and environmentally friendly dyeing (plant dyes to reduce water pollution) may improve sustainability; the potential in the textile field includes smart textiles (embedded conductive fibers) and medical textiles (antibacterial treatment, antibacterial rate> 99%). However, the industry needs to address the challenges of raw material costs, environmental pressures and market competition. Overall, wool worsted yarn will have a solid position in the high-end market, but challenges need to be addressed through green technology and innovation.
