IMO, also have to be more careful about the temperature as wool traps heat. That's why we use them for our sweaters etc. Not that common, but some people mix it with angora wool and knit it together.They are also larger than HLs and NDs

A Jersey Woolies breeder in USA wrote that Jersey Woolies don't require as much groom as angora as they have different texture of coat. Jersey Woolies coat can't be knitted as they are "pretty hard"...it is written that once a Jersey Wooly fully grown up it doesn't require regular groom as Angoras. US breeders only groom their JW before shows.
