Wool & Vortex
Wool is the textile fiber obtained from sheep and other mammals, especially goats, rabbits, and camelids. The term may also refer to inorganic materials, such as mineral wool and glass wool, that have some properties similar to animal wool.
Wool is an animal fiber and consists of protein together with a small percentage of lipids. This makes it chemically quite distinct from cotton and other plant fibers, which are mainly cellulose, and akin to silk, another animal fiber composed primarily of protein.
Today the largest market for wool is for wool from sheep. Wool's unique characteristics have made it highly valuable for clothing and textiles. It has a long history being used for apparel and other items while fueling trade and economic growth in many countries. Wool is still used in clothing today and is often mixed with other fabrics. After being shorn, wool must be processed in order to be turned into its desired product, and it is still largely important for textiles both privately and commercially, and is even used in art.
