Wool

Wool is the textile fiber obtained from sheep and certain other animals, including cashmere from goats, mohair from goats, qiviut from muskoxen, angora from rabbits, and other types of wool from camelids. Wool has several qualities that distinguish it from hair or fur: it is crimped, it is elastic, and it grows in staples. While in the United States the term wool is usually restricted to describing the fibrous protein derived from the specialized skin cells called follicles in sheep, in the UK the term may be used of any long curling fiber such as wood wool, wire wool, etc.
