Wool was prepared from the hair of ram, goat, sheep and ewe. Woollen clothes were in vogue since 峁歡vedic^[1] time and were of different types, in accordance with the material from which they are prepared. However, in 础峁ａ弓腻诲丑测腻测墨^[2], all sorts of woollen clothes are mentioned by the term Aur峁嘺ka which has its root in 弄谤峁嘺, meaning sheep鈥檚 hair. A sheep is termed as 弄谤峁嘺vat墨 in 峁欢惫别诲补^[3]. Aur峁嘺, Kambala and 艢amulya are some words for woollen, which find mention in Vedas. Of these, the term Kambala is used exclusively for blankets in the later period. According to some scholars^[4], the term Aur峁嘺 is used in Vedic texts in the sense of goat鈥檚 wool though the word actually means a sheep鈥檚 wool for wearing sheep鈥檚 wool was considered inauspicious in those days and hence its use is ascribed to the later Vedic age. Thus in 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺蝉^[5] and 艢rautas奴tras we come across the word 弄谤峁嘺 for sheeps wool. Sheep鈥檚 wool was known as 膧惫颈办补 also, for which, references are seen in 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉^[6] and 叠峁沨补诲腻谤补峁噛补办补-耻辫补苍颈峁�a诲^[7]. 叠峁沨补迟蝉补峁僪颈迟腻^[8] talks about both Aur峁嘺ka and 膧惫颈办补. Wool prepared from mountain goat鈥檚 hair was called Kutapa. R膩峁単ava was another variety among the wool made of mountain goat鈥檚 hair. 础尘补谤补办辞艣补^[9] mentions R膩峁単ava. 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补^[10] also attests costly R膩峁単ava given as gift. 笔腻峁噄苍颈^[11] has referred to R膩峁単ava in one 厂奴迟谤补 as a word derived from the root Ra峁単u. According to some commentators Ra峁単u is a sort of mountain goat, usually seen in the Pamir regions. Soft, thin, dyed and bleached varieties of wool were available. Soft and thin varieties were mostly employed in lower garments. 峁欢惫别诲补^[12] gives indications to soft wools. In one place it is stated that the wool of ewe from 骋腻苍诲丑腻谤补 are soft.
