Spell Bee Word: Woollen


What does woollen mean?

Word: Woollen

Part of Speech: Adjective

Meaning: Woollen means made of wool, the soft hair of sheep that is spun into thread.

How do you spell woollen?

Syllables: wool - len

Tricky part: British English doubles the l before en, so there are two l's. American English uses one l, which is why children see the other spelling in some books.

Watch out for: wollen, wolen

Memory tip: British spelling likes a double l before an ending, as in travelled and jewellery: give this word two l's as well.

Woollen in a sentence

Example 1: Grandma knitted me a red woollen cap for the winter.

Example 2: We packed our woollen socks for the school trip to the mountains.

Example 3: The woollen blanket kept the puppy warm all night.

Fun Fact

Wool is one of the oldest words in English: it goes back to Old English, the language spoken in England more than a thousand years ago.
