Wool is the hair of certain mammals. Most wool comes from sheep and goats, but wool is also taken from camelids which are camels, llamas etc and special rabbits. Wool is a natural material. Wool can be spun or made into yarn. The yarn is used to weave fabric or material. The yarn of wool can also be knitted into fabric or clothing like jumpers . Alpaca, mohair, angora, camel, cashmere and vicuna are all separate types of wool.

The primary characteristic of wool is that it is an excellent insulator. 

A woolen sweater will keep you cozy and warm by trapping air between its fibers. It also allows moisture from your body to evaporate through the fabric. This helps keep your skin dry and comfortable. Wool can be worn in both winter and summer conditions as these insulating and wicking properties help you maintain a steady body temperature. There are environmental benefits to using wool fiber rather than synthetic. Wool is a naturally renewable product; sheep grow a new fleece each year. This is true for all wool producing animals.
