What does WOOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
The soft, curly fiber that grows on sheep and some other animals, used to make yarn and cloth.
Wool is sheared from sheep and similar animals and spun into thread for knitting or weaving. Its natural crimp traps air, which is why garments made of wool keep the wearer warm even when the fabric itself is thin. The word wool is also used loosely for fiber from other animals such as goats or alpacas.
