Is wool conductor of heat?
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.
Which fabric is the best heat insulator?
Cotton And Wool
A burn is an injury that results from a heat source The heat source may be?
thermal, electrical, chemical, or radiation
Which fabrics retain heat best nylon silk wool cotton?
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...)
How does a material such as wool affect heat absorption?
when heat gets transferred along objects it is called conduction, different substances are better at conducting heat than others. for example, metals are good heat 'conductors' because the vibrating particles transfer energy along the metal object fast. but certain objects don't conduct heat very well and are called 'insulators'. an example of an insulator is wool, mainly because wool traps quite alot of air, and air is a terrible conductor due to how much the particles are spaced out.
What is the source of the fiber of wool?
Fleece-bearing animals are the source of wool fibres.
Is wool conductor of heat?

What is a wool sock made of?
A wool sock is what it sounds like... A sock made from wool... You get wool from a sheep.
Is wool a good insulator of heat?
yes it is because wool has air pockets which keep in all the heat and block out the conduction of heat, convection and radiation.
