Wool is primarily made up of a protein called keratin, which gives it its unique chemical properties. It is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, and has a high moisture content which helps regulate temperature. Wool is also flame-resistant and has good elasticity, allowing it to maintain its shape even after stretching.
