Lambswool is wool obtained from a young sheep's first shearing, producing fine, soft fibres with a naturally springy handle. It is warm and breathable and is commonly used for knitwear, coats and other cold-weather garments.

Cable knit is a knitted construction featuring raised, twisted or braided motifs created by crossing stitches. The cables form a distinctly three-dimensional surface and are usually set against a flatter knitted background. It is particularly common in substantial sweaters and traditional knitwear.
