Explain method of making wool

The major steps necessary to process wool from the sheep to the fabric are: shearing, cleaning and scouring, grading and sorting, carding, spinning, weaving, and finishing. The different processes involved in wool production are shearing, scouring, grading, dyeing, and drying. The process of removal of the fleece from an animal is called shearing. Sheep are usually shorn annually in the spring/summer months. Shearing is done with a manual razor and blade, or with special clippers. The various steps for processing fibres into wool are as follows: Shearing: The fleece of the sheep along with a thin layer of skin is removed from its body. Scouring: The sheared skin with hair is thoroughly washed in tanks to remove grease, dust and dirt. The fibres are straightened, combed and rolled into yarn.
