Recycled wool is often blended to recycled polyester to increase its strength, or partially blended to ‘new’ wool, for the creation of new products. It is an important theme for the whole textile/fashion industry, presented in the Italtex color and fabric trend fashion book Sports and Street Wear Autumn/Winter 2021-22
