Why do wool sweaters sting?

Do you know that if some woolen sweaters scratch, it's because the scales of the wool fibers are too rigid.

If the wool fiber size of the wool fibers is greater than 28 micrometers, it itches and stings!

So there, we have very soft wool and a super comfortable and warm sweater.
