Sheep hair has two types of fibres – the beard hair and the skin hair. The skin hair provides the fibre to make wool. The process of making fibre into wool follows a series of processes:

Shearing → Scouring → Sorting → Dyeing → Straightening, Rolling and Combing

Shearing

This is the first step of processing fibre into wool. In this method, the fleece of the sheep along with a thin layer of skin is removed. This process is done in spring weather as sheep do not require the outer skin to keep them warm. Shearing is mostly done by machines or sometimes by hands.

Scouring

After the shearing process, the sheared hair is washed in big tanks to remove grease, dust, and dirt by automatic machines. This process of washing sheared hair is known as scouring.

Sorting

In sorting, hairs of different textures and types are sorted. Now we can differentiate between low and good quality fibres. The good quality fibres are used for clothes and the lower quality is used for making rugs. The fleece is sorted according to type and texture.

Dyeing

This process involves colouring of fibres in different colours as the natural fibre is generally white, black or brown.

Straightening, Rolling, and Combing

After the dyeing process, the fibres are straightened, rolled and combed into yarns. Wool made from fibres are further used for making jumper, woollen clothes, etc.
