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.

Twill is a woven construction characterised by visible diagonal lines across the surface. The structure can range from fine and subtle to heavy and pronounced, depending on the yarns and weave. Denim, gabardine and drill are all examples of fabrics made with twill constructions, but their weight, surface and intended use differ considerably.
