Note
A plural that exists only because the noun usually refuses one. Wool is normally a mass noun: you buy some wool, not a wool. The plural therefore signals kinds, meaning different breeds, grades or origins of fiber as a mill or merchant sorts them. In British and New Zealand use, where wool can mean any knitting yarn, synthetic included, a shop's wools may contain no sheep at all.
