made from wool
Made from wool, usually talking about clothes or cloth.
用法パターン：
woollen [item of clothing]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "wool" and "woollen" and say *"a wool sweater" or *"a sweater of woollen" incorrectly. Both "a wool sweater" and "a woollen sweater" are acceptable, but "woollen" must always describe a noun (e.g. "a woollen jumper"), while "wool" is usually a material noun and only sometimes used as an adjective. Learners may also mix spellings: "woollen" (UK) vs "woolen" (US).
類義語
woolen (Same meaning; preferred American spelling, while "woollen" is chiefly British.)
|
wool (Used before a noun as a modifier (e.g. "wool coat"); slightly more general and more common globally.)
対義語
cotton (Refers to items made from cotton instead of wool, so it contrasts with "woollen" when talking about fabric type.)
