I remember learning about it in primary school. The types and more especially the wool part of it for making blankets and jackets. Generally warm clothing. I saw one and took a snap of it . Isn't it lovely! I remember the name as well Merino sheep! It's meat is mutton so tasty!! Do you have any woolen item? Or had it before?

I have some lovely woolen sweaters and cardigans. But, my city gets no winter. I get to use them when I travel to cold places. I enjoy knitting too.

@Laurakemunto . We all have such favourite things, we tend to overuse them. We feel so attached to them.

@arunima25 you are very right we even forget that we like them so much that people can give us names like " the red, wollen jacket girl or the silky, blue shirt man "

Yea wollen clothes are soft and warm and heavy too so when it's not that cold no need to put on a wollen thing cause you'll heavily sweat

I have a wool blanket, but that’s about all. Wool clothing makes me too hot, and sometimes itchy.

I have a couple of woolen sweaters. When on a package tour of New Zealand I saw thousands of sheep grazing along the road. We were in the bus and they looked like cotton balls from a distance.

What a wonderful looking sheep, I live in the US in Florida and it is mostly warm al year round and hot in the summer, However, when I lived in Latvia in northern Europe I always wore wool socks in the winter,

The sheep is adorable. I would hate to eat him. Lots of wool on him. I want to go to a farm and see sheeps, ducks, cows , and chicken.
