Answer
Heyya!
The steps involved in obtaining wool are:
Step I. The fleece of the sheep along with a thin layer of skin is removed from its body, this process is called as shearing.
Step II. The sheared skin with hair is thoroughly washed in tanks to remove grease, dust and dirt and this process is called scouring
Step III. After scouring, sorting is done. The skin is sent to a factory where hair of different textures are separated or sorted.
Step IV. Then the small burrs are picked out from the hair. The fibres are scoured again and then dried.
Step V. The fibres are dyed in various colours, as the natural fleece of sheep and goats is black, brown or white.
Step VI. Finally, fibres are straightened, combed and rolled into yarn. The longer fibres are made into wool for clothes.
