Let the buyer beware.
Just a reminder to never assume that descriptions of store or online fabrics are correct. I just purchased several swatches from fabric.com and fashionfabricsclub.com which were ALL specifically described as 100% wool. Several, according to my burn and bleach tests, contain other materials, and some have little wool content at all. Always check a swatch!
