Fibre content in fabrics and yarn.

I've been looking at clothing - particularly winter skirts and jumpers - and have noticed some sellers don't seem to know the difference between wool and acrylic yarn, or fabric, often referring to ácrylic wool'. This means I have to ask if they mean mixed fibres (and if so what are the proportions) or do they mean acrylic yarn which looks and/or feels like wool.  I know not everyone would be concerned about this, but it could be an issue with some buyers.


Another clarifying point would be to say if a fabric is woven or knit.  The answer from one seller was that he/she didn't know how to tell the difference.  Perhaps sellers who are dealing with these sorts of items need to take the time to learn about them.

Yes they should, if only to protect themselves against claims of INAD!  I dont understand how someone can hope to sell something if they don't even know how to advertise it, or to say what it is made of.X-(

Once again I will say that if a seller does not know how to give all information that is needed I will move on and find a seller who does.



No way would I waste my time emailing them.

Granny, that applies to ALL sellers. Get to know what it is you are selling first before trying to palm it off to a buyer.
