wool sweater

Warm knitted garment

A wool sweater is a knitted garment made from sheep's fiber, worn on the upper body for warmth.

Wool's natural insulating properties make these sweaters particularly suited for cold weather.

The term distinguishes from sweaters made of cotton, synthetic fibers, or blends: Pack a wool sweater—it gets cold in the mountains at night.
