Hide and Hair
Hides were man's first clothes. Eventually he learned to weave the hair from hide into warm garments and coverings. Six products of hide or hair are defined below. Guess the words and the proper names that are their source.
1 & 2 Two curly or wavy furs, comparable in desirability,made from the skins of young lambs.
3. fine, downy wool growing beneath the outer hair of a Himalayan goat.
4. A soft, highly prized leather of goatskin tanned with sumac.
5. The skin of a sheep or goat, prepared for writing upon; paper made in imitation of this material.
6. Leather with a soft napped surface.
This is a fun way to introduce new vocabulary.
