Wool is a natural fibre grown by sheep. It is measured in diameter by microns and the better types are also known as 'fine' wool against rougher types or 'coarse' wool. Merino sheep produce high quality wool usually in the range of 19 to 24 microns. Some can be as fine as 17 microns and expensive to buy when made into clothing. Each fibre is hollow and therefore an excellent insulator when worn as clothing. Clothing made from wool is an excellent product to wear when exposed to radiant heat in a bushfire. Ask a sheep farmer for more information, they are friendly people and will usually welcome visitors to see their sheep and watch shearing being done. But, stand where you are asked to stand and keep out of the process!!
