Lamb's wool
Lamb's wool is the first clip shorn from a young sheep, finer and softer than adult fleece. Iranica records weavers around Maku blending spring-shorn wool with lamb's wool to make yarn for fine carpets. In rug titles it signals a soft, fine wool pile; kork is the trade's name for the finest grade.
