AI overview
Wool is a natural fiber obtained from the fleece of sheep and some other animals, which is then processed and used to make clothing, blankets, and other textiles. It matters because it has been an important material throughout history, with certain breeds like Merino sheep valued for producing particularly fine-quality wool.
