A Dachstein sweater WAS an incredibly dense wool pullover. The wool was knit then the whole thing boiled and brushed to make a super dense wool sweater. They made mittens too...about the best wool mitts you could find....sadly I have not seen these for at least 15 years.
High-tech plastic clothes likely drove these out of the market.
