Answer:
Wool is obtained from this fleece. Shearing is the first step in processing fibre into wool. It is the removal of the fleece of the sheep along with a thin layer of the skin. ... The longer fibres are made into wool for sweaters, while the shorter fibres are spun and woven into woollen cloth

Hey mate here is your answer.
Wool is mainly obtained by shearing fleece from living animals, but pelts of slaughtered sheep are sometimes treated to loosen the fibre, yielding an inferior type called pulled wool. ... Wool fibre is chiefly composed of the animal protein keratin.
Wool is produced by follicles which are small cells located in the skin. These follicles are located in the upper layer of the skin called the epidermis and push down into the second skin layer called the dermis as the wool fibers grow. Follicles can be classed as either primary or secondary follicles.
SHEARING- It is the process of removal of sheep hair along with a thin layer of skin. The fleece obtained after shearing is known as 'grease wool' as it contains oil and lanolin. It also consists of vegetable matter, pesticides, manure and natural oil. Shearing is done once in a year, usually in the early spring.
