WOOLWool is a natural highly crimped protein hair fiber derived from sheep. The fineness and the structure and properties of the wool will depend on the variety of sheep from which it was derived. Major varieties of wool come from Merino, Lincoln, Leicester, Sussex, Cheviot, and other breeds of sheep.

Wool polymer
Wool fibers are extremely complex, highly crosslinked keratin proteins made up of over 17 different amino acids. The amino acid content and sequence in wool varies with variety of wool. The wool protein chains are joined periodically through the disulfide crosslinked cystine, a diamino acid that is contained within two adjacent chains. About 40% of the protein chains spiral upon themselves and internally hydrogen bond to form an a-helix.

Shearing
Sheep shearing, shearing or clipping is the process by which the woollen fleece of a sheep is cut off. The person who removes the sheep's wool is called a shearer. Typically each adult sheep is shorn once each year.
