	Wool takes [[dye]] easily and the natural [[oil]]s found in [[sheep]]'s wool make such [[cloth]] quite water resistant. Even with the lanolin removed, wool sheds water easiliy and remains warm when wet as well as being an excellent insulator when dry. People who make [[cloak]]s and [[clothing]] from [[cotton]] rather than wool can usually be identified as the ones closest to the fire trying to keep warm.

	'''Wool''' is the [[fiber]] derived from the hair of some animals, usually [[sheep]]. It has two qualities that distinguish it from [[hair]] or [[fur]]: it is scaled in such a way that helps the animal move out burrs and seeds that might embed themselves into its skin; and it is crimped, in some fleeces more than 20 bends for every few centimeters.
