The diagram given illustrates the way in which wool is produced for commercial purposes.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that this is a man-made linear process which requires a combination of both human labour and machinery. Additionally, there are nine stages involved in this process, beginning with sheep farming and culminating in the production of finished items such as jackets or carpets.
In the first step, sheep are raised until their fur is fully grown, after which they are sheared to obtain raw wool. Following this, the collected wool is cleaned using hot water and chemicals so that dirt and other impurities can be removed. The wool is then carded before being further processed, which helps to straighten the fibres and eliminate tangles. Once this has been completed, part of the material is recycled and used to make string.
In stage six, the remaining fibres are formed into tufts of wool and stored in warehouses. Having been stored, the wool is then spun into balls of yarn, making it ready for use. The process ends when the yarn is knitted, either by hand or by machine, to produce final products such as jackets or carpets.
