To understand what woolen clothes are, let’s understand what material they’re made from. 

 Wool is a fabric derived from the fur of many animals. Although most individuals associate ‘wool’ with sheeps. However, there are different types of wools that come from other animals as well. Producers harvest the animals’ hair and spin them to get yarn. This yarn is then weaved into garments. Due to the fact that wool is made from the hair of animals that keeps them warm, it has excellent insulating properties.

When you’re travelling, roll or fold your wool garments loosely, don’t wring them. Roll them with tissue paper to protect the cloth’s shape and prevent wrinkles.
