The processing of fibres into wools involves the following steps -: (i) Shearing: First of all, the fleece of the sheep along with a thin layer of the skin is removed. (ii) Scouring: Sheared skin is thoroughly washed in tanks to remove grease, dust, and dirt. (iii) Sorting: This involves the separation of hairs of different textures. (iv) Drawing out the fiber: The small fluffy fibres popularly known as 'burrs' are picked out from the hair first, then scoured, dried and finally drawn into fibres. (v) Dyeing: Finally the fibers can be dyed into a variety of colors.
