What Is Fleece?

Answer – Fleece refers to the wool of a sheep or similar animal.

Explanation: 

Fleece is the coat of wool covering a wool-bearing animal; it is obtained from such animals at one shearing (the process of cutting off the woolen fleece). Typically, in the case of sheep, adult animals are shorn once each year, depending on the climate, management requirements, and the availability of a wool classer and shearers.

Fleece is also used in the production of pillows, throws, and other home decor items.

Fleece is used to make various items such as pullovers, coats, scarves, blankets, sweaters, jackets, hats, and gloves. It is known for its warmth, comfort, and softness, making it a popular choice for cold-weather clothing. It is also used to make athletic garments because it keeps perspiration and moisture away from the body while allowing air to circulate through the fibers, keeping athletes cool.
