When wool is burned it smell like hair burning because it is hair. It's the hair of sheep (and certain other animals like goats, etc.)
It should smell a little like burning paper, the same with rayon. If it's polyester, it will melt. Wool will smell like burnt hair.
To remove the smell of sheep wool, you can try airing out the wool item outdoors, sprinkling baking soda on it and letting it sit before shaking it off, or using a mixture of water and vinegar to spot-clean the affected areas. You can also consider using a fabric refresher spray specifically designed for wool.
Wool is made of protein fibers that are similar to the composition of human hair. When wool burns, the sulfur-containing amino acids in the protein break down to release a distinct smell similar to burning hair. This is due to the keratin structure in wool, which is also present in hair and nails.
Silk and wool are protein-based fibers, just like hair. When burned, they release a similar odor due to the presence of sulfur-containing amino acids in their molecular structure. This shared chemical composition is what causes the burning smell to resemble that of burning hair.

Have you tried washing the garment? Most wool clothing can be hand-washed in cool water and dried flat on a towel. You can use either a product like Woolite, or find a specialty yarn store in your area, or an online shop, that sells a wool wash like Eucalan. Some have lavender in them, which will reduce the wool smell and also repells moths.
