Wool is known to be a fabric used during the colder times of the years. Wool are normally gathered from both sheep and goats, but other creatures of camel, llama, and rabbit. The oldest examples of wool in a wolven form start in ancient Iran around 4000 BC, but sheep were introduced to Europe as early as 4000 BC, meaning sheep were a fast spread herding animal. Several Danish "Bog Bodies" have samples of wool clothing (Abt 1500 BC). Wool was also very popular among the Romans, but it remains a stample up into the present day.
