reprocessed wool
Quick Summary
Reprocessed wool refers to wool that has been used and is subsequently reprocessed for further use. This is distinct from new or virgin wool, which has had no previous use. In the United States, wool recovered from fabric that has never been used by the consumer is termed reprocessed wool, while wool recovered from material that has seen prior use is called reused wool. These recovered wools are often of lower quality due to damage incurred during the reprocessing stages and are primarily used in woolens and blends.12
