The correct sequence of steps to obtain wool from fleece (hair) is as follows:
Shearing
Scouring
Sorting
Picking out the blurrs
Dyeing in various colours
1) Shearing: Removal of fleece/ hair from sheep is known as shearing.
2) Scouring: Removed hairs are then cleaned by washing into tanks to remove grease dirt and grease.
3) Sorting: The process of separating hairs of different textures.
4) Picking out the blurrs: Blurrs are small fluffy fibres which are picked out from the hairs. These fibres are again cleaned and dried.
5) Dyeing: The fibres are then dyed into varieties of colours because the wool fibres originally obtained are black, brown and white in colours.
