Hiii friend...

Silk and wool are two types of fibers that are obtained from animal sources. Silk is manufactured from the cocoons of silkworms whereas wool is manufactured from the fur of furry animals like goats. There are many similarities as well as differences between silk and wool. The key difference between silk and wool is wools ability to retain warmth. Although fabrics made from both silk and wool are able to retain warmth, wool is a better insulator of heat than silk.
