Sheep are blessed with an extraordinary trait of having wool over its body.
These layers of wool are then sheared off; the sheering time leads to change in the color of wool.

Then the wool is properly washed so as to remove the unwanted particles from the lumps of wool.
During this process a greasy element called Lanolin is extracted which is further used in the manufacturing of creams.
After washing; the wool is dried for the next step of sorting.
In sorting, the wool is sorted and mixed in an appropriate ratio. This process gives a fine color to the wool.

This is followed by carding. In this process the wool is untangled with the help of either small hand cards or machines. This is just like combing hair. After carding, the wool becomes softer and longer.

After carding, spinning takes place. Under this process, the wool takes the shape of yarn.

So, the yarns are finally given the shape of a hank before sending it for a final wash.

Last is washing. During the spinning process, certain oil is used this makes it necessary to wash the wool once again.

So the wool is properly washed and then dispatched into the final destination. Making clothing.
