Is "Pure New Wool" just another term for polyster or those cheap alternatives to natural materials?

I saw this second hand listing on Pants that are "Pure New Wool" and it doesnt mention the brand and so I'm jus tnot sure if I should get it

If the platform allows, ask if they can share the material tag - otherwise don’t bother if you really want 100% wool. people will write anything on listings

That tag would generally mean it's 100% wool. From sheep. And hasn't been recycled.

It is also called virgin wool which means either new wool or wool from the first shearing (iirc)

Lana vergne is virgin wool They specified new wool in english which generally means it's not lambswool or adjacent, just unrecycled wool

Threads are finer/thinner on first shearing so virgin wool is typically softer Just like when you shave your face for the first time and the hairs grow back a little thicker
