The woolen clothes keep us warm for two reasons: one is that
wool is a bad conductor if heat. Second is that the air
present in their pores is also a bad conductor of heat and
dies not allow the internal heat to go out

Answer / mohit
As wool is a very good insulator and a poor conductor of heat, woollen clothes keep the body warm and protect it from the cold winds. Also, the air trapped between the woollen fibres prevents the flow of heat from the body to the cold surroundings. It also prevents the cold air from coming in contact with the body. Woollen garments have excellent shape retention because of the crimp in the fibres. The crimp creates many tiny air pockets that trap the warm air of the body or form a sort of insulation from the external air. This insulating barrier of air pockets protects the body from cold winds

Answer / nizam siddiqui
Woolen clothes are fibrous and so they have more surface area than any other kind of clothes. When they come in contact of our skin, they got oppositely charged due to friction. And when they meet with the opposite charges, This is accompanied with a release of heat and this heat is trapped in woolen clothes as woolen clothes are bad conductor of heat. And this heat is feel as warmth...

Answer / linda
Wool insulates and keeps warmth inside because they cannot conduct heat to the outside. Wool also traps air which is also a bad conductor and then helps to also keep all the warmth from your skin inside.
