Pls tell WHAT ALL STEPS ARE THERE IN OBTAINING OF WOOL AND SILK (PROPER STEPS WITH EXPLANATION)

Carding is a mechanical process that disentangles, cleans and intermixes fibres to produce a continuous web or sliver suitable for subsequent processing. ... In preparing wool fibre for spinning, carding is the step that comes after teasing.
After being carded, the wool fibers are spun into yarn. Spinning for woolen yarns is typically done on a mule spinning machine, while worsted yarns can be spun on any number of spinning machines. After the yarn is spun, it is wrapped around bobbins, cones, or commercial drums.......
Extracting silk from the cocoon is called processing silk. The processing of silk from cocoons follows -Step1: Separation of the silk fibre from the cocoon. For this, it is need to be exposed to warmth. Piles of cocoons are kept under the sun, boiled or exposed to steam. The warmth causes the silk fibre to separate from the rest of the cocoon
Step2: Reeling the silk, which is the process of delicately unwinding the fibre from the cocoon. Reeling is also done in special machines.
Step3: The silk thread is then bleached and dyed into many shades.
Step4: The silk fibre is then spun into silk thread, which is then woven into silk cloth by weavers.
