Question

what is Kemp ? why is not used as wool?​

Answer 1

Kemp is a brittle weak fibre forming the residual traces of a secondary coat in some species of sheep, which may be mixed with normal fibers in a wool fleece. This hair is not desirable in a fleece, as it does not accept dye, minimising both the quality and the value of the wool.
