So, what is wool?
Wool is a natural fiber derived from the fleece of sheep and certain other animals. It is a versatile ingredient used in a variety of products, including clothing, blankets, and carpets. In the culinary world, wool is also used as an ingredient in specialty dishes, such as Icelandic smoked lamb, where the wool is used to pack the meat and infuse it with a unique flavor.

Its unique texture and softness also make it a popular ingredient in crafting and DIY projects.
