its a good insulator, meaning that yes, it is a good non-conductor. Materials that insulate heat, eg wool, cotton etc, are also by definition good electrical insulators. Good conductors would include most metals, which you may have noticed are bad insulators. you wouldn't wear metal underwear anyway!
No, because it traps air.
no
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Cotton And Wool
Silk is well known for being warmer than wool. Nylon and cotton are poorer insulators. (As well, there are other types of "wool" which are known for being much warmer than sheep's wool...)
Cotton wool has a very low density and has thousands of pockets to trap air in. Because of this, cotton wool is a good insulator, but there are others that are better. As a rule of thumb, the lower the density, the better the insulator. There are virtually no exceptions to this.
air,wool garments, plastic foam cups,rubber,wood,cotton
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Cotton wool is not a conductor or an insulator it is a semi conductor. It is sort of in the middle, electrons can travel through cotton wool but not as good as silver, bronze, metal and so on.
wool holds lot of air.air being bad conductor of heat make the wool a good conductor of heat.
No because water is a good conductor of heat in comparison to wool.
because wool and cotton contain the air space in it. so it feels rought in touch. thats why we use it in heat conductor ......................................inder amar singh
because it can keep heat in because it is thick and good for insulation
wool is a insulator
No cloth is not a conductor of electricity .It is an insulainsulator
In general a material is both a good conductor of electricity and heat if it has lots of free conduction band electrons, effectively forming an "electron gas". Metals are in this category.

Heat insulation would be wool. Note that denim is normally made of cotton, or a cotton/polyester blend. None of them would be very good electrical insulation when wet.
