Does wool fray? If so, how is this prevented?

[@MassonLifestyle]

It depends what type of wool you are using. The real stuff doesn't, wool blends (so always check what content is wool and what isn't) do fray but not a lot. You do not have to serge it. When you press wool it sets itself. That is why pressing with a tailor's clapper or in my case a chunk of wood is so important. It seals the seams in. My wool was a mix of wool and cashmere. It hardly frayed. I used it to make my hat on the channel.

What type of needle do you use?

[@MassonLifestyle]

I mention in the video to use a universal needle. Depending on the weight of the wool you can use an 80 /12 for lighter wools and 90/14 for medium weight and 100/16 for thicker wools.... but that is for almost bag making wools. I usually hover between the 80 /12 to 90/14.
