毛織物

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 毛織物, read けおりもの, combines 毛, animal hair or wool fiber, with 織物, woven fabric.
• Basic usage: It names woolen fabric as a material, allowing the cloth to be distinguished from a finished garment made from it.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Material versus product
  • In 上着には…使われている, it is the material used in a coat. In 毛織物の表面, the fabric itself is being finished.
• The scope of 織物
  • The headword denotes woven material, not loose wool or animal hair by itself.
