Wool
Wool is the textile fiber obtained from sheep and other mammals, especially goats, rabbits, and camelids.

These follicles are located in the upper layer of the skin called the epidermis and push down into the second skin layer called the dermis as the wool fibers grow. Follicles can be classed as either primary or secondary follicles. Primary follicles produce three types of fiber: kemp, medullated fibers, and true wool fibers.
