Wool is a textile fibre that is extracted by sheep, cashmere, and mohair from goats, hide and fur clothing from bison, angora from rabbits, and some other types from Camelids. Wool consists of a group of protein with a little amount of protein. Wool is fire resistant, soft, and elastic.

Complete answer:
Wool production begins with the shearing of wool-bearing animals. Some animals bear wool once per year, and others bear wool multiple times throughout the year. These carded strands are then spun into yarn, and after the final wash, this yarn can be woven into clothes and other types of woolen textiles. The Lohi breed yields pure quality wool.

The body of the Lohi breed is white and the forehead is usually black or brown. Their home place is Rajasthan and primarily distributed in the Churu, Ganganagar, and Jhunjhunu districts of Rajasthan.
