What other way would you want?

Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

Today's interesting fact has to do with dog's wool.

Which would you think is warmer, cardigans created from wool from sheep or lambs, or wool from dogs.

The answer might not be what you think.

Dog's wool is better at keeping you warm, it is up to 80% warmer than sheep or lambs wool.

You might not be able to purchase Chiengora garments, but there are plenty of examples on the internet on how to create your own garments.

Dog wool was the main fiber spun on the North American continent before the Spaniards introduced sheep.
