Write various steps for processing fibres into wool.
The various steps for processing fibres into wool are as follows:
(1) Shearing: Firstly the fleece (hair) of sheep is removed. This process is called shearing.
(2) Scouring: The sheared (removed) hairs are then cleaned by washing into tanks to remove grease and dirt. This process is called scouring.
(3) Sorting: Cleaned hairs are then sent to factory here separation of different textures of hairs takes place. This process is called sorting.
(4) Picking out blurrs: Blurrs are the small fluffy fibres which are picked out from hairs. These fibres are again cleaned and dried.
(5) Dyeing: The fibres are then dyed into various colours.
(6) Rolling into yarn: The fibres are straightened, combed and then finally rolled into yarn (thread).
