lambswool

Young sheep fiber

Lambswool is soft, fine wool from a young sheep's first shearing, prized for its delicacy and warmth.

The term usually describes textiles: a lambswool sweater, lambswool yarn.

Because the fibers have never been cut, they're softer than wool from later shearings.

Also spelled lamb's wool or lambs wool.
