W

Warp

What is Warp : In woven fabrics, refers to the yarns which run lengthwise and are interwoven with the fill, or weft, yarns.

Warp Knit

What is Warp Knit : A type of knitted fabric construction in which the yarns are formed into stitches lengthwise. Warp knits typically have less elasticity than do weft knits. Examples of a warp knit include tricot and raschel knits.

Water Repellent

What is Water Repellent or Water Repellency : A term referring to a fabric that has been treated with a finish that causes water to shed while still remaining air-permeable. Many Home Furnishings are water repellent, both interior and exterior. Exterior Lounge Chairs, Umbrellas and Patio Furniture are usually treated. Interior Home Furnishings and Accessories may also be treated for water repellency such as Furniture Upholstery and exterior fabrics of Couches, Sofas, Loveseats, Lounge Chairs, Dining Room Chairs and Seats, Floor Rugs and Floor Coverings, Slipcovers, Carpets, Futon Mattresses, Bed Mattresses, Mattress Ticking and Bed Pillows. Additionally, specialty Duvets and Duvet Covers, Goose Down Comforters, Comforter Covers and Comforter Cover Sets, Comforters, Comforter Sets, Bedspread Sets, Bedspreads and Bed Skirts may be water repellent. Luxury Bedding such as Bed Blankets, Luxury Throws, Throw Blankets and Throw Pillows may also be treated with a water repellent.

Weft

What is Weft : In woven fabric, the filling yarns that run perpendicular to the warp yarns.

Weft Knit

What is Weft Knit : A type of knitted fabric in which yarns are formed into stitches in widthwise manner. Common examples of weft knits are circular knits and flat knits.

Wickability

Moisture Wickability or Moisture Wick : The ability of a fiber or a fabric to disperse moisture and allow it to pass through to the surface of the fabric, so that evaporation can take place.

Wool

What is Wool, Wools, Cashmere Wool, Camel Wool, Alpaca Wool or Angora Wool: Often associated, domestically, with fiber or fabric made from the fleece of sheep or lamb, such as Lamb’s Wool. The term " Wool " applies, however, to all animal hair fibers and is inclusive of the Cashmere goat, Angora goat and specialty fibers of Camel Hair, Alpaca Wool, or the hair of the llama or vicuna. The finest Noble fiber or Wool is Pure Cashmere, the most supreme being Mongolian Cashmere. Amongst the absolute finest wools are Australian Superfine Merino Wool and Cashmere. Wools can be blended, to add warmth and softness. Wool and Cashmere Bed Blankets Made in Italy are absolutely unparalleled, taking into consideration fiber quality and mill. Superb Wool products include Luxury Bedding such as Italian Pure Cashmere Bed Blankets, Italian Pure Merino Wool Bed Blankets, Italian Silk and Merino Wool Bed Blankets and Mongolian Cashmere and Merino Wool Bed Blankets Made in Italy. Wool is not limited to the Bedroom and is in fact extremely popular in the form of Luxury Throw Blankets designed for the Den, Study, Library or Living Room such as Mongolian Cashmere Throws Made in Italy and Italian Throw Blankets, Italian Superfine Merino Wool Throws and Throw Blankets, Italian Silk and Merino Wool Throws and Throw Blankets and Mongolian Cashmere and Merino Wool blend Italian Throws and Throw Blankets. Wool is also used in Home Furnishings and Accessories, in areas such as Wool-Filled Throw Pillows, Wool Carpets and Wool Rugs.

Worsted Wool Fabric

What is Worsted Wool Fabric : A tightly woven fabric made using only long-staple, combed Wool or Wool-blend yarns. Worsted Wool fabric has a hard yet smooth surface. An example of worsted Wool fabric is Gabardine Wool.

Woven Fabrics

What is Woven Fabrics : Fabrics composed of two sets of yarns. One set of yarns, the warp, runs along the length of the fabric. The other set of yarns, the fill or weft, runs perpendicular to the warp. Woven fabrics are held together by weaving the warp and the fill yarns over and under one another.

Wrinkle Recovery

What is Wrinkle Recovery : Similar to resiliency, the ability of a fabric to recover to its original shape after it has been twisted, wrinkled or otherwise temporarily distorted. Generally speaking, the all-natural staple fibers such as Egyptian Cotton, Pima Cotton or Luxury Cotton will tend to wrinkle easier than Sheet Sets, Duvet Sets or other bedding that has been blended with manufactured fibers such as polyester. Pure Cottons, however, are superb in terms of breathability and softness, characteristics which polyester bedding blends compromise. Wool Luxury Bedding, including Pure Merino Wool Bed Blankets, Pure Mongolian Cashmere Blankets, Cashmere and Wool Bed Blankets, Pure Merino Wool Luxury Throws and Throw Blankets, Pure Mongolian Cashmere Luxury Throws and Throw Blankets and Cashmere and Wool Luxury Throws and Throw Blankets do not wrinkle easily and recover well from twisting or distortion.

Y

Yarn

What is Yarn or Yarns : A continuous strand of textile fibers that is created when a cluster of individual fibers are twisted together. These yarns are used to create fabrics, either by knitting or weaving. The longer the yarn, the more superior the bedding product. Good yarns are approximately .5 to 2.0 inches in length, with the most superior fine lines comprised of the longest yarns. The best Sheet Sets, Sheets, Duvet Covers, Duvets, Goose Down Comforters, Pillowcases, Shams, Coverlets, Coverlet Sets, Bedskirts and Quilts are comprised of the longest Egyptian Cotton, Pima Cotton or Pure Cotton yarns available. Similarly, the finest Bed Blankets are comprised of the longest fibers for the creation of Wool Luxury Bedding inclusive of Pure Merino Wool Bed Blankets, New Wool Bed Blankets, Pure Mongolian Cashmere Blankets, Cashmere and Wool Bed Blankets, Pure Merino Wool Luxury Throws and Throw Blankets, Pure Mongolian Cashmere Luxury Throws and Throw Blankets, New Wool Throws and Throw Blankets and Cashmere and Wool Luxury Throws and Throw Blankets
