I am somewhat confused about the different types of wool that are used for clothing and knitwear. I understand that cashmere and merino wool come from specific breeds of sheep, but what is the difference between regular wool and lambswool? They both come from sheep, no?
Also, would rabbit fur be sufficent for an ushanka type hat for cold winters. I cannot find my grandfather's ushanka and certainly want to purchase a good and lasting ushanka, not a cheap knock-off with horrendous Soviet badges.
