Wool

Wool is an animal fibre obtained from the fleece or hairs of sheep, goats, yak or camels. Hairs of these animals trap air to keep their body warm in winters. Due to this reason, they are used to making woollen clothes.Woollen fibres to woollen fabrics

Shearing -The fleece of sheep or other wool yielding animals is removed along with a thin layer of skin. This process is just like shaving.

Scouring – After the hairs are removed, they are thoroughly washed and cleaned to remove any dust, dirt, or grease.

Sorting – After scouring, hairs of different textures are sorted.

Cleaning of Burrs – The small, fluffy burrs that appear on hairs are then removed. After this, long woollen fibres are made.

Dying – To give desirable colour to the fibres, they are dyed.

Rolling – Finally, woollen yarns are made by rolling them. After that, these wools are knitted into desirable shapes and sizes to make sweaters, mufflers, socks, etc
