Hi,
Here is a technical question. I know some of you are very knowledgeable when it comes to these things.
On labels of high-end Italian clothing such as Brioni and Barbera I sometimes see fabric described as: Cloth composition 100% WS, Cloth composition 100% WO, or Cloth composition 100% SE. But also as: 60% SE, 40% WS etc. or variations thereof.
I thought WO stood for wool and SE for silk. Does WS stand for wool silk? If so how can fabric be 100% wool/silk? Somehow I was under the impression that WS stood for cashmere?? How is cashmere abbreviated, CA?
Help!
Thanks.
