Wollen clothes keep the body warm because 

(1) Wool increases the temperature of the body 

(2) Wool is a bad conductor 

(3) Wool absorbs radiant heat from outer objects 

(4) Wool rejects heat from the outer objects 


Answer: (2) It is just because woollen clothes have fibres and between those fibres air is trapped which reduces heat loss. Air reduces heat loss because it is an insulator or poor conductor of heat. Wool has several qualities that distinguish it from hair or fur: it is crimped, it is elastic, and it grows in staples (clusters). Wool’s scaling and crimp make it easier to spin the fleece by helping the individual fibres attach to each other, so they stay together. Because of the crimp, wool fabrics have greater bulk than other textiles and retain air, which causes the product to retain heat.
