What is a micron and what is the difference?
A micron is the diameter of the wool fiber. The lower the micron, the finer the wool. High microns are 20 and above and are usually used for outer layers such sweaters, blankets. Microns of 20 and below can also be used in outer layer, but the type of knitting used can make the garment more durable and warmer. Usually finer wool is used for next to skin garments such as base layers, underwear, etc.
Structure of the fiber also determines how smooth or rough the wool will is.
