Answer 1

Hint: The different types of wool include alpaca, angora, melton, merino, mohair, Shetland, etc. They come from different parts of the world. In India the two major wool producing states are Jammu & Kashmir and Rajasthan. Acrylic fiber is a major component of cashmilon.

Complete Solution:

Wool	Cashmilon
Wool is a natural fiber	Cashmilon is a synthetic fiber
It is obtained from sheep.	It is made by mixing the components which are synthetic, like cotton, acrylic, and polyester.
The fabric is soft and heavier than cashmilon	The fabric is soft and lightweight.

Wool contains mainly protein and a small amount of lipids. It is chemically very distinct from cotton, which is mainly cellulose.
Acrylic fiber is the major component of cashmilon. They are artificial fibers made from polyacrylonitrile. DuPont made the first acrylic fibers and named it Orlon.

Notes:
Wool is a textile fiber. It is obtained from sheep and other animals. Examples of other animals and corresponding type of wool are given below:
Goats – cashmere and mohair
Muskoxen – qiviut
Bison – hide and fur clothing
Rabbits – angora
Other types of wool from camelids
Acrylic fiber is made by dissolving the polymer in a solvent, usually N, N-dimethylformamide, also known as DMF, or aqueous sodium thiocyanate. Then metering it through a spinneret and finally coagulating the resulting filaments by wet spinning or dry spinning.
It is mainly produced in Turkey, India, Mexico, and South America. Very little European producers still make acrylic fibers. There are no more acrylic fibers produced in the US.
