The document discusses five steps in wool processing: shearing, scouring, sorting, dyeing, and spinning. Shearing removes the fleece and top layer of skin from sheep in the summer. Scouring washes the raw wool with detergents to remove grease, dust, and dirt. Sorting separates the fleece by quality and mixes similar quality wool. Dyeing applies dyes to textiles like fibers and yarn for desired color. Spinning twists fibers together to form yarn which is then wound onto a bobbin.

3. Shearing is the process of removing the
fleece of sheep along with the the uppermost
layer of its skin. This is done during
summer because the sheep needs its
protective coat of hair during winters, to
keep them warm.

4. Scouring is done to remove grease, dust and
dirt from the raw sheared wool. In the
process of scouring, fleece is washed with
detergents and alkalis in special tanks to get
rid of the grease, dust and dirt.

5. The process of separating the fleece of a
sheep into sections according to the quality of
woollen fibres is called sorting. The same
quality wool obtained from the fleece of large
number of sheep are then mixed together.

6. Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on
textile materials such as fibers, yarns, and fabrics
with the goal of achieving color with desired color
fastness. Dyeing is normally done in a special solution
containing dyes and particular chemical material.

7. Spinning is a twisting technique to form yarn
from fibers. The fiber intended is drawn out,
twisted, and wound onto a bobbin. A few popular
fibers that are spun into yarn other than cotton,
which is the most popular, are viscose, and
synthetic polyester.
