WOOL TEST
Wool has a overall softer and natural feel. Acrylic can get ' stratchy with age', has a 'crunchy' sound when rubbed.
Wool, if you look close has a fibre that sticks out ( esp. on vintage peices)
Blends can present 'wool' features too. But over all an acrylic blend will have the above ' acrylic features'. A cotton blend with wool will not, but is less heavy looking than pure wool.
