Skin and fur
Hi,
I would like to ask how to use fur or sheepskin appropriately.
I can say lamb fur coats, but what about sheepskin coats?
Which can I choose? The sheep's fur/skin needs shearing.
Lots of thanks.

I can say lambs wool coats. A sheepskin has the skin, wool does not. Wool is shorn from the sheep, and the sheep lives to grow more wool for the next year.
