Why do we wear woollen clothes in winter?

• Wool is a poor conductor of heat because it traps a large amount of air between its fibres.

• We wear woollen clothes in winter because the layer of air trapped between the woollen layers acts as an extra insulator keeping the heat generated by the body inside the clothes instead of letting it out. Thus, keeping us warm.
