Question

from 'from fleece to yarn ',write in brief about the various processes involved in the making of wool​

Answer 1

Answer:

The steps that are involved in getting wool yarn from fleece are as follows:

1.) SHEARING: The fleece of

sheep,along with very thin layer of dead skin,is removed from the body. Thus, this process is known as Shearing.

2.) SCOURING: The sheared fleece contains dirt and grease. It is cleaned by washing with detergent in hot water in large tanks. Suitable machines are also used for this purpose. This process is called Scouring.

3.) SORTING : The process of separating hair of different textures from the fleece is called Sorting. The sorted fibres are scoured again and then dried.

4.) DYEING: The natural hair of the sheep is white, brown or black. The raw fibres are, therefore, dyed in different colours.

5.) SPINNING: The raw and dyed fibres

are then twisted together to make threads called YARN.

So, these were the given following steps involved in getting wool yarn from fleece.
