It �s wool, whether it �s on the sheep or in your blanket. Baa, Baa, black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full. One for my master and one for my dame And one for the little boy who lives down the lane. Bruce |

Sheep have a fleece. (countable). A fleece is the entire coat of wool.
Sheep have wool. This is the usual word used.
A fleece.
When sheep are shorn, the fleece can be spread out in one piece. (Of course it will fall apart if roughly handled.) |

Yes, the entire coat is a fleece, which is composed of wool. Sometimes the words are used interchangeably. Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go Bruce

And just for fun:
Mary had a little lamb
It �s fleece was black as soot
And everywhere that Mary went
Its sooty foot it put.
