The illustration delineates the process of yarn production.
Overall, the process encompasses three main stages: farming and shearing, processing the wool, and finally finishing the yarn. Notably, this is an intricate process, requiring industrial machinery and labour.
The initial phase of the process involves growing the sheep. Upon reaching maturity, the sheep is sheared immediately for its wool, and subsequently the wool is cleaned to remove impurities. Once cleaned, the wet and clean wool is dried, after which it is ready for further processing.
In the next stage, the dried wool is mechanically spun to produce tufts of wool. These tufts are either stored for later use or processed further. Some of them are twisted into string, whereas other tufts are recycled.
The final stage mainly focuses on making a product from the ready wool. The stored tufts are used for knitting, while the string is manufactured into balls of yarn. The resulting yarn is predominantly used in the production of carpets and jackets.
