May one move fleece wool (gizei tzemer) on Shabbat when used for insulation, without prior designation?
Synopsis
Ordinary fleece wool (not set aside for commerce) that was used for insulation may be moved on Shabbat even without prior designation, because fleece is less significant than muchin. Fleece designated for commerce requires prior designation.
