The illustration demonstrates the sequence of steps in manufacturing wool products from sheep.
Overall, the process involves several stages. The process starts with removing the wool from the sheep, and progresses through several processes to get it ready for the final products
The first four main steps aim to produce the finished wool. Initially, the process begins with the rearing of sheep, followed by wool shearing, where farmers remove the wool from the animals. After that, the raw wool then undergoes the cleaning process to remove dirt and impurities. When cleaning is done, it is dried by a specialized equipment. Following this, the dried wool goes through a carding process, where producing both tufts of wool and strings.
The final products are the result of the remaining stages. While the strings can be recycled, the tufts of wool are conveyed to storage. After that, the stored wool undergoes yarn spinning, where it is transformed into balls of yarn. Finally, these balls of yarn can either be used for knitting or be made into finished products such as jackets or carpets.
