The diagram illustrates the linear and cyclical process of converting wool from sheep into final products like jackets and carpets.
The process begins with sheep, which undergo shearing to obtain wool. This raw wool then goes through a cleaning stage. After cleaning, the wool is subjected to drying, which prepares it for the next phase.
Following the initial preparation, the wool moves to the spinning stage, where it is transformed into string. This string can be used to create balls of yarn through knitting, which ultimately results in products such as jackets and carpets.
Alternatively, after spinning, the string can also be recycled. The diagram also shows that tufts of wool are produced at some stage, which can be stored in tuft storage.
Overall, the diagram highlights the key stages from raw material (sheep) to finished goods (jackets, carpets), with a potential point for recycling within the process.
