The wool of Icelandic sheep is unique in that it contains two different types of hair that serve as a natural barrier from wet and cold weather. The outer layer is composed of coarse, long hair known in Icelandic as tog. The tough and fleecy tog is a water-resistant layer. Underneath the tog, there is a layer of short hair, known in Icelandic as [thel]. The softer [thel] layer keeps the sheep snug and warm even in the worst of weather conditions. 1, record 1, English, - Icelandic%20wool
