Explanation:
From sheep
Sheep hair has two types of fibers – the beard hair and the skin hair. The skin hair provides the fiber to make wool. The process of making fiber into wool follows a series of processes:
Shearing → Scouring → Sorting → Dyeing → Straightening, Rolling and Combing
Shearing
This is the first step of processing fiber 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 fibers. The good quality fibers 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 coloring of fibers in different colors as the natural fiber is generally white, black or brown in color.
Straightening, Rolling, and Combing
After the dyeing process, the fibers are straightened, rolled and combed into yarns. Wool made from fibers are further used for making sweaters, woolen clothes, etc.
