lamb's wool

Soft baby fleece

Lamb's wool is the soft, fine fleece from a young sheep's first shearing, prized for its exceptional softness in textiles: a lamb's wool sweater.

The term also names a traditional hot drink of ale or cider mixed with sugar, spices, and the pulp of roasted apples—the fluffy apple creating a woolly appearance on the surface.
