The process by which wool is produced can be outlined in a number of consecutive steps. Overall, there are four main stages involved in the process. It starts with the initial collection of the wool from sheep, followed by spinning it to create yarn. The yarn is then formed into wool tufts, which are subsequently used in textile manufacturing. The majority of the process is completed manually.
The wool has to go through several steps before it forms yarn. Initially, the wool is sheared from sheep, which should be then washed to remove any impurities. Once dried, the wool is then twisted using a spinning wheel in order to create yarn. Alongside the yarn, there is typically some spinning waste, which is recycled.
The next stage of the process starts when the yarns are formed into tufts of wool and these are then stored. Using these stored tufts, different colored yarns of wool are produced, which can be used for either knitting or manufacturing other pieces of clothing and carpets.
