* Shearing does not hurt the sheep because the uppermost layer of the skin which is remove along with fleece is dead.

>> The sheared hair is clean and washed in tanks to remove grease, dust and dirt. This is called scouring. Now- a- days scouring is done machines.

>> The cleaned hair are sent to a factory where hair of different textures are separated or sorted. This is called sorting.

* Small fluffy fibres called burrs are picked out from the hair. The fibres are scoured again and dried.

* Now the wool is ready to drawn into fibres.

>> Next, the hair are sent into a 'carding' machine.

* it combs the loose wool fibres into a sheet.

Answer 2

Shearing: The tleece of the sheep along with a thin layer of skin is removed from its body.
Scouring: The sheared skin with hair is thoroughly washed in tanks to remove grease, dust and dirt.
Sorting: The hairy skin is sent to a factory where hair of different textures are separated or sorted.
The small fluffy fibres, called burrs, are picked out from the hair.
The fibres can be dyed in various colours, as the natural fleece of sheep and goats is black, brown or white.
The fibres are straightened, combed and rolled into yarn.
