Vikings primarily obtained wool for their clothing from sheep that they raised and herded in their settlements. They bred various sheep breeds for their wool, which was sheared and then spun into yarn. In addition to their own flocks, Vikings also traded for wool with other cultures, enhancing the variety and quality of the textiles they could use for clothing. Wool was a crucial material for their garments, providing warmth and durability in the cold climates they inhabited.
