A short article from the Master Weaver newsletter on wool as a textile fiber. It discusses wool's qualities (insulation, water resistance, hygiene, strength, elasticity, dyeing, felting, weaving), the origin of the word sheep, and breeds such as Merino and the English long and short wools. It also covers the parts of a fleece, carded versus combed wool, and yarn counts.
