no, but it traps heat b/w its layers
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.
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...)
Wool fibers have air pockets that trap heat and create insulation, slowing down heat transfer. Additionally, the protein structure of wool fibers absorbs and retains moisture, which further helps to regulate temperature and reduce heat loss.
Yes, steel wool is a good conductor of heat due to its dense structure and metallic composition. When heat is applied to steel wool, it quickly conducts the heat throughout its structure, making it useful for applications like scrubbing surfaces or starting fires.
Steel wool is not a good heat insulator because it is a good conductor of heat, meaning it allows heat to pass through it easily. As a result, it would not provide effective insulation against heat. It is more commonly used for cleaning and scrubbing due to its abrasive properties.
Fleece-bearing animals are the source of wool fibres.
A wool sock is made of wool, the source of which is animal fleece.
wool!

A wool sock is what it sounds like... A sock made from wool... You get wool from a sheep.
wool
the yak is a source of wool and milk mainly...!!
yes it is because wool has air pockets which keep in all the heat and block out the conduction of heat, convection and radiation.
wool is a insulator
yes and no it depends on what wool and what you want to insulate ?
As wool keeps you warm and retains body heat
Wool comes from sheep, the farmers shave it off and weave it together.
