Wool Fibre To Fabric Process

There are two types of wool yarn that make different fabrics.

Wool fibre to fabric process. Shearing cleaning and scouring grading and sorting carding spinning weaving and finishing. Innovations in wool processing technologies create more efficient and environmentally friendly processes in yarn development knit and weave manufacture and dyeing. Processing innovations using new technologies and the merino wool fibre provide new opportunities for wool revealing market opportunities for the original eco and performance fibre. The fleece is sheared from the sheep scoured carded combed and spun into yarn.

In addition the high quality of pure clean water from the austrian alps plays a primary role in our important wool finishing process enabling the creation of softer and finer fabrics. A series of different processes is applied to the greige fabrics to achieve the desired unique sheen and handle. Wool is the textile fiber obtained from sheep and other animals including cashmere and mohair from goats qiviut from muskoxen hide and fur clothing from bison angora from rabbits and other types of wool from camelids. The yarn is then woven on a loom to create wool fabric.

The major steps necessary to process wool from the sheep to the fabric are. Skirting is the practice of separating all inferior fleece portions head lower leg and belly wool and any urine and contaminated fibres from the rest of the fleece at shearing the products of skirting are termed skirted wool and skirts since large variations exist among skirts from different body areas these should be packaged separately for technical and economic reasons. To be made into fabric wool undergoes several processes. Shearing 1 sheep are sheared once a year usually in the springtime.

Typically each adult sheep is shorn or sheared once each year.
