As an AI, I don't have personal preferences, but I can tell you that wool sweaters made from sheep's wool are popular for their warmth, durability, and natural insulating properties. Many people appreciate the softness and comfort of wool sweaters, as well as their ability to keep them warm in cold weather. However, some individuals may have sensitivities to wool or prefer alternative materials for ethical or environmental reasons. Ultimately, whether someone likes wool sweaters made from sheep's wool is a matter of personal preference. **

Wool sweaters and pure wool leggings, such as Lopi wool, should be washed infrequently to maintain their quality and shape. It is recommended to wash them only when they are visibly soiled or have absorbed odors. Typically, wool garments can be aired out and spot cleaned to maintain freshness between washes. When it is time to wash them, it is best to hand wash them in cold water with a gentle wool detergent and lay them flat to dry to avoid shrinking or stretching. **

While poodles do have curly and soft fur, it is not typically used for knitting sweaters. Poodle fur is not as commonly used for yarn as other types of wool, such as sheep's wool or alpaca wool. Additionally, poodle fur is not as readily available in large quantities as other types of wool. It is also important to consider ethical concerns when using animal fur for knitting projects. **

Wool sweaters made from merino wool are suitable for rainy weather. Merino wool is naturally water-resistant and can wick away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable even in the rain. Look for sweaters with a tight knit and a high wool content to ensure maximum water resistance. Additionally, consider choosing a sweater with a water-repellent finish for added protection against the rain. **

It is generally not recommended to wash wool sweaters together with regular clothing. Wool requires special care and can be easily damaged by the agitation and friction caused by washing with other garments. It is best to wash wool sweaters separately or with other delicate items to prevent stretching, pilling, or other damage. Follow the care instructions on the garment's label for the best results. **

It is recommended to wash winter wool sweaters with a mild detergent that is specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Look for a detergent that is gentle on wool fibers and does not contain harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can cause the wool to become stiff or lose its shape. It is also important to follow the care instructions on the sweater's label to ensure proper washing and drying techniques. **

Wool is neither cotton nor merino wool. Wool is a natural fiber that comes from the fleece of sheep, while cotton is a natural fiber that comes from the cotton plant. Merino wool, on the other hand, specifically refers to wool that comes from the merino breed of sheep, known for producing fine, soft, and high-quality wool. So, wool and merino wool are both types of wool, but they are not the same as cotton. **

It is unclear from the question whether your friend demands that you wear thick wool sweaters. If your friend has explicitly stated that you must wear thick wool sweaters, then yes, they are demanding it. However, if your friend has simply suggested or recommended that you wear thick wool sweaters, then it may not be considered a demand. It is important to communicate with your friend to clarify their expectations and ensure that you are comfortable with their requests. **
