Wool Production
Wool production involves the harvesting of fleece from sheep, primarily breeds like Merino and Suffolk. The process begins with shearing, where the fleece is carefully cut from the sheep's body, usually once a year. This fleece is then cleaned, sorted, and processed to remove impurities and prepare it for spinning into yarn.
After processing, the wool can be dyed and woven into various textiles, including clothing and blankets. Wool is valued for its warmth, durability, and natural moisture-wicking properties. Sustainable practices in wool production are increasingly emphasized to ensure animal welfare and environmental protection.
