Wool is a natural fibre. It is mainly obtained from sheep. Goat, Yak, Camel, Angora, Rabbit, Llama and Alpaca are some other wool-yielding animals. Australia, China, and New Zealand are the main wool-producing countries in the world. India ranks tenth in wool production. Wool is warm to wear and is a good absorbent of heat. It is used for making sweaters, mufflers, shawls, scarves, gloves, blankets, etc. Wool traps the air between its fibres and does not allow the heat from our body to escape. Thus, we feel warm when we wear woollen clothes.
