It comes from that old story about the wolf who dressed up in a sheepskin to try to catch a sheep. If the sheepdog comes along and pulls his sheepskin hood down over his eyes, the wolf can't see. If he can't see, the dog can trick him. Thus, pulling the wool over his eyes means the sheepdog is going to trick him.
