The country of wool

Sheep came to Australia with the First Fleet in 1788. They were brought by Governor Phillip from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. They had fat, long tails and their wool was like hair. Sheep are not native to Australia. The first white people wanted sheep for their meat and not their wool. Some of the sheep died on the voyage, but the others were brought to Sydney.

•Sheep Australian Merino wool production first with the weeding and Merino sheep with fine fleece. This sheep breed in accordance with a variety of climate and pasture available. They can eat the grass is hard and coarse salt bush species in areas that are hot and dry. Crossbred sheep of England and Scotland are kept in place a lot of rainfall, for example in the agricultural regions of wheat. Sheep do not develop in moist areas. Australian Merino sheep wool known for its good quality. Almost all wool produced is exported. Wool from Merino sheep used as an official suit Japanese, Italian clothes, carpets UK and wool yarn manufacture France

Process Of Making Wool

•Shearing

Shearers clip the wool fleece from the sheep.

A Professional shearer can remove the entire fleece in under

five minutes. Any vegetation is removed from the fleece and

the wool is graded according to its quality.

Australian produced wool in between 700 to 1,000 million

pounds per year. Fine wool used to make clothing. Coarse

wool used to make blankets and rugs.

Each year Australia produces mutton and lamb meat more

than 350,000 tons in food in Australia and exported 220,800

tons.

Scouring

Fleeces are washed to remove dirt, dust, sweat and wool grease is recovered and from this, Lanolin is extracted which can be used for cosmetic and skin care products.

Top MakingWhen we wool fiber comes out of the scour, the fibers are in randomized formation in order to spin the fibers, the must be straightened and laid relatively parallel to one another.The processes of carding, combing and gulling are used to arrange the fibers in an organized and parallel from they are also used to remove remaining vegetables matter and short fibers. The processes conducted between cleaning the wool at the scour and spinning are collectively known as top making. Top making produced slivers of wool in packages called tops.

SPINNING

Is the process of interest6ing twist

into assemblies of fibers to form

yams. There are three common types

of yarn are hairy.

Contain more short fibers, and are

used for example for sweaters and

blankets worsted yarns use longer

fibers to produce smoother yarns

which are used in product like suits.

Semi worsted yarns are “half way

between “ woolen and worsted

spinning on worsted spinning

equipment they can be used for finer

smoother knitwear.

Spinning

Weaving

This is process of interlacing yarns

usually at right angles to each

other woven fabrics are

constructed using a set of warp

yarns which run down the length

of the fabrics and weft yarns which

run across the which of the fabric.

Knitting

This is process of interloping yarns

across the width of the fabric

knitted fabric may be produced by

flat panels of fabric, or circular

knitting to produce a tute of

fabrics which depending on the

end use is subsequently cut open

to be that. Some garments may be

circular knitted as a tube to create

a seamless product. A familiar

example of such product are

socks.

Making UpIndividual panels of garments are cut

from flat fabrics and are sewn together

to form the garment knitwear panels

can be shaped on knitting machine

and therefore don’t read cutting, such

panels are normally “ Limited”

together, rather than traditional

sewing

Fabric Finishing

Woven fabric and auricular knitted fabrics go

through many processes following fabric

formation to make them suitable foe end use.

Many fabrics are almost completely

unrecognizable between the finished fabric and

the fabric that comes off the weaving loom or

knitting machine. Processes are carried out to

wash, flatten, reduce, hairiness, increase,

hairiness, stretch, consolidate and stabilize

fabrics for and use. These process will both

improve the appearance, feel and performance

of the fabrics.

Dyeing

Is the process of coloring the wool. This can be

done as loose fiber, yarn, fabrics or garments.

Different finished effects are achieved by

dyeing at the different stage of processing.

Dyes may be natural, such as plant materials or

synthetic colorations effects may also be

introduced through.

Ready for saleAfter pressing the garments are ticketed and labeled so

consumers know how to care for their new extra fine
