Wool

A wool carder is a tool, either mechanical or used by hand, to align, clean and blend fleece into a continuous 'web' in preparation for spinning. You can review images of wool carders, below.

It depends greatly on what the wool is intended for and what form it is produced in. Knitted sweaters, for example, are much more costly ounce for ounce than wool yarn, which is more costly than wool roving, which is more costly than an unprocessed fleece.

It also depends on the sort of wool being produced. Some wools are more desirable than others. For example, shetland wool will generally be more dear than corriedale and requires greater care in production.

Then consider how the individual animals are kept. Kept on pasture it costs less to feed them, but the quality of the wool suffers from more vegetative debris such as burrs. When great care is taken to keep the animals clean it costs more, but the quality of the fleeces being produced is much greater and they fetch a greater price at market.

Lastly, consider how the fleece is harvested. If a professional sheers the sheep with no "second cuts" then the fleece will be worth more money than if an amateur sheers it with less skill.

Man-made fibres do not shed and are much more hard wearing, offer higher degrees of stain resistance. Mand-made fibre are also colourfast and will not fade in direct sunlight.

Synthetic fibers are known to release harmful toxins known as VOC's
