The Long and Complex Process of Wool Processing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 фев 2024
- Shearing sheep and processing wool involves several steps, from preparing the sheep to turning raw fleece into usable fibers.
This entire process requires a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern machinery, and the quality of the final wool product depends on the care taken at each step.
The specific processes may vary depending on factors such as the type of wool, intended use of the final product, and the preferences of the manufacturer.

What an amazing process, props to the people who made all these machines so we can have warm blankets and clothes. Thanks sheepies!
Sheep always look relieved when being sheared.
That's what you think. How do you know that they feel,
@@agnelodsa788 wool is heavy and hot, and we can see signs of animals being stressed and uncomfortable when they have an excesive coat, like, they do not need to talk to know an animal is having a good or bad time
It's same when we get rid of armpit and pussy hair. Lol
@@agnelodsa788 Try wearing a heavy winter coat with a winter hat during a hot 100 degrees summer. And tell me how you would feel.

Wool, cotton, and linen are all biodegradable. Unlike polyester that fills up our landfills and doesn't break down.
It’s disgusting that humans have bred an animal that would die without humans because of its endlessly growing fur.
@@user-mt4no6hn3n, it's disgusting that your username starts with "user-", troll.
@@user-mt4no6hn3n They will die when their time comes, just like everything else and just like you. Relax. Complaining about humans like you’re not one of us. The whole point of domestic animals is that they live under the care of humans anyway.
Raising animals in huge concentrations for their hair causes massive environmental problems.
I refuse to buy any clothing or household fabrics with synthetic materials like polyester. It feels so cheap and is bad for our environment and health (microplastics).
Just made me think of all the talent, artistry, industry, and hard work I wear every day.
The thumbnail picture is excellent 👌🏻
Thanks 🙂

“Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, Sir, yes, Sir, three bags full…”
Yunno this rhyme, just made so much sense to me now
Shearing sheep looks pretty fun. I bet the sheep look forward to it.
I appreciate this video. It's very well done.
Thanks I appreciate it.
So glad this art and skill still exists ❤
Wool is about 5% of the world fabric market.
NZ wool is about 5% of the world wool market.
Merino wool is about 5% of the NZ wool market.
And fine Merino wool is about 5% of the NZ Merino market. :)
Wow that is an amazing process. Thank you for the clip.
Well done! Very informative. Thanks a million.
That’s a hard skilled art form bet that job makes you fit
People who wash dishes and laundry need to know about not using too much soap. The water is actually what does the cleaning, not the soap. Just add enough soap to make the water sudsy to remove the oil
Good job with the video and thumbnail mate!! Hard to get going sometimes with small channels. Best of luck!
Thanks, and yes, it's still slow going, but even wonder world started off slower.
Завораживает! Я люблю вязать, особенно из шерсти, мериноса.... Но никогда не видела, как животных стригут.... Спасибо за видео
the sheep is so calm
yeah it's funny how some animals calm down when you are cleaning them, like dog or clipping claws on cats.
@@Farm-World. Are you serious there scared shit please dont be a phony🤑
Thanks for the information
Fabulous video. Very informative. Thank you
Glad you liked it :)
thanks for info👍👍👍❤❤❤
Bruh 2$ per sheep 300 *2=600$ per day 😮
That’s back breaking work tho! And taxes lol!
spend most of it on Beer after a hard days work 🍺
Very few people here In the states make 600 a day
@@williamjones6053don’t forget though this isn’t a 365 days a year industry, though some shearers may travel the world I imagine
Consider it is a job done seasonally, so most of the year they don't have work.
This is my life now! ...the sheep.
As a pharma chemist I use cholesterol that is extracted from (specifically) New Zealand wool grease.
Plus the wool is collected without harming the sheep.
Witney. Centre of the blanket universe 👍
Charles Earley and Marriot were the best.
Beyond the standard protocols, what are some personal safety habits you've adopted working around this machinery?
2 minutes and 2 dollars per sheep. The shearer does 300 sheep. 600 dollars for 10 hours work. Thats good.
Just $2 to sheer a sheep? Should probably be paid more I think 🧐
Each sheep only takes a few minutes though. It's probably around $$18-20 an hour. That's the problem with making money off of animals. The margins are tight.
Should be more for fellow NZ legends
Hobby farmers have to pay much more per sheep to have them shorn by a professional shearer. Otherwise, it’s not worth the shearer’s time to turn up.
I don't know, I now can't stop saying "bowl" like they do in the video! Starting at 04:36
Good informtive video and thanks for ur efforts ❤
Great video. I am also very curious how this was done prior to modern technology. I know shearing were done manually with clippers but it seems the cleaning and prep would had been quite labor intensive.
I haven't done much myself, but I've seen demonstrations of traditional wool working. The washing had to be done by hand, and the carding was done with hand-held wire-toothed carding combs. The fibers were spun either with a spinning wheel or a drop spindle, and then the yarn could either be knitted or woven on a manual loom. I've done some manual spinning, and it's not too hard, but it's fiddly work because you need to keep the thickness of the yarn even as you add more bits of wool into it. Weaving is fun, especially if you like playing around with different colors and paterns.
In effect, you've got all the same steps as shown here, just that you first have to pick out the rough dirt by hand, pluck it, wash it several times (personally, I use a bit of grated up traditional soap mixed with wood ash lye and a tad of natron for the first three washes in hot water and and then rinse the wool with increasingly colder water about 4-6 times), then dry it either on a clothes line or lay it out on a bit of framed wire mesh. Once dry, I again pluck it, then card it 2-3 times using a drum carder (which is already a fairly modern way) and then blend it (I take the batts apart and card them again, mixing different batts together, since we've got two different breeds of sheep and I want a reasonably consistent quality throughout the fabric later on). Alternatively, hand cardes or wool combs can be used. After that, it's spinning with either a spinning wheel (which is what I use) or hand (drop) spindle. To stop the yarn from unravelling, it needs to either be steamed/boiled to set the fibre, or two threads have to be spun in the opposite direction to what they were originally spun in (can't remember, what the English word for this process is). Last is, obviously, weaving, which includes several steps also. Sorry, since English isn't my first language, I unfortunately don't know the terminology, so I better not try and explain. But setting up a large loom, can take a week or more, before you can even start weaving.
Anyway, yes the work that goes into wool fabric doing everything by hand/ using basic tools, is insane. It puts into perspective, why clothing was so valuable, especially compared to fast fashion these days. I'm currently onto spinning, and at this point, it's already 100+ hour of work I've invested. And seriously, if I didn't find this relaxing and rewarding, I wouldn't be doing it since it's not my actual job. And even then, it can get tedious at times.
@@CalliopePonyThe more you spin, the easier and faster it becomes and you quickly learn to draw out the right amount of fibres to ensure an even thread. That said, I'm horrible with a drop spindle and definitely prefer a spinningwheel, while a friend of mine is equally good using the one or the other. But I guess, I should take my own advice, and just spin more often using a drop spindle. It's just, I've got a mountain of wool to spin and am eager to start weaving it into fabric... 🤷♀️
Acá en chile le lavaba a mano a orillas de los rios luego se ponía a secar sobre sacos extendidos luego seca se golpeaba con mucha fuerza(latigazos) con varitas de sauce y ya luego se "escarmenaba a mano o sea se abrian y esponjeaban los trozos y salía lo último y a los sacos para llevarlos a hilanderas con husos de madera para hacer los ovillos.
@@amaliamedina5068 That is so interesting! Never heard of wool being beaten after it had been washed and dried before. Do you know if it's done to get rid of dust or to get any remaining moisture out? Or perhaps to fluff it up a bit already? And are you talking sheep or alpaca?

New York City is a Hellscape. Even worse than California. I didn't think how bad it was until tiktok videos started showing the true side of NYC. Thank God I don't live in that Concrete rectangular Hell.
No wonder wool from New Zealand and Australia is so expensive! It's a tough job to process it.
Grease = lanolin, sold to beauty industry

Buen video,pero,faltaron los subtitulos en español
The price for wool from meat breed sheep is so low, that producers often throw it out. I have used it for years as a garden mulch.10-1-4 , retains >30% weight of water, keratin based so doesn't attract termites, can be used in pots to keep soil from falling out, along the sides of raised beds to fill in the gap as the soil settles or dries out, under downspouts and other potential erosion areas since weighted down wool will filter out particulate matter and slow down the water. Ask your local extension agent about small producers and offer them at least $10 for a large bag full. to help small farmers. I cover it with crushed leaves or thin layer of chips in public view areas since the white makes it 'glare'. The only problem I have is dogs like to drag it around and chew on it.
What happens to the lanolin? Is it discarded or is it collected?
Once removed, lanolin can be further processed and refined for various uses. It's commonly used in cosmetic and skincare products for its moisturizing properties, as well as in industrial applications like lubricants, rust prevention, and leather conditioning.
So, rather than being discarded, lanolin is often recovered and repurposed for its valuable properties.

What shears are you using in this video?
I don't use any shears, I was just telling the story.
Question: In 3:05, all those smaller wools are sorted in a bag. Could you tell what they do with it?
I would say that the main good quality wool, is sent to be cleaned & processed for primary use in products, such as woolen jumpers and scarfs.
and the little bits they tear off that were not good enough, probably get cleaned and processed and used in insulation in housing or areas that do not matter if they look stained, like pillow stuffing. or toy stuffing.
Probably just heaped on the ground to compost.
Sheep: 🫥🤨🤨😫😫

How can I get the machine of shearing sheep? It looks sharp
have you tried google searching it, I just did.
I want to buy this trimmer for my sheeps
Where should I get this trimmer can anybody help to buy this trimmer
sorry mate, I don't track the machinery in the videos yet, that is something I may be doing in the future, but it's an extra thing I don't do yet.
Please inform me when you get info about it
@@naseerahmadnaikoo3550I don't know where you live but if you live in the United States you could order from these two companies ,Nasco, Premier1.I've ordered from both and they are reliable. I don't know if they ship outside the United States though but it might be worth checking.

How much workers r paid?
it's says in the video, $2-4 per sheep
سبحان اللہ
I sincerely hope they recycle the water.
Why the commentary?
Is this a cricket match or a football match?
Vitamin c comes from sheep’s fleeces I belive
Vitamin c comes from things like mangoes, citrus fruits such as oranges, berries, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and spinach. The Kakadu plum has 100 times more vitamin C than oranges.

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🤍🌈🤍Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
Jesus is not God tho
Jesus will Come again and will say that he is messenger (a prophet) from God and will lead all Muslims.
Alla Muslims and Christians will follow jesus.
Jesus will end the anti christ (dajjal)
read alnahl surah in the holy Quran these animals are pleasing from ALLAH we can eat from them and we can wear form them ....subhanallah
Then why do you people kill humans and do bombarding
Ah another islamist nut!
Tsteyw
The workers who are trimming these animals will develop all types of back and spinal problems when they hit 50s-60s! Standing up with leg straight and bending over from the waist is one of the worst things a young person can do to their back/spine! They are screwed and they don't realize it yet!
people in lots of professions are screwed but don't find out to later in life.
Dirt aka feces
How cruel are we
I don't know you are the other people you are speaking off, but I will assume very cruel, since you brought it up. 🤣
@@Farm-World. The handling of animals in the video depicts cruelty mate. We don't do this neither do we harm or eat them. I however mentioned humanity as cruel ,how are we treating other fellow beings
@@nirmalsubramanian5370 this is not cruel, it's normal shearing behavior and the sheep are fine with it.
@@Farm-World. No problem brother/sister. Didn't mean any offence to you..We believe in the fact that whatever karma you do you get it back either in this life or the upcoming ones and been watching this cruelty a lot(you know the RUclips algorithm). You might be taking care of them and I can't judge it sitting at my home.
@@nirmalsubramanian5370sheep and humans actually have a really important relationship, their wool helped us to live in colder climates and they depend on us to shear them and care for them
that annoying music sure does suck
They're not an object, humans. Handle them carefully. I've seen some other videos regarding the same. In fact, unfortunately, it was really uncomfortable for the eyes. The sheep were scared and screaming. And there were so many cuts and wounds all over their body. I wonder what these kind of humans are made of. Devils on earth.
Animals are not supposed to be used in any way this is animal cruelty🛑🛑🚨
It’s disgusting that humans have bred an animal that would die without humans because of its endlessly growing fur.
people exist in the world today, that would die, if not for the hard working people around them, providing them food, clean water, power, and emergency services. if all these services stopped today, these people including my self would die very quickly, due to our own lack of skills and ability to survive alone.
you are not special, you are no different than that sheep.
*SHOULD BE DONE CAREFULLY?? THE SHEEPS ARE MOVED AROUND LIKE STUFFED TOYS WITH NO CARE AND THE SHEER IS HANDLED ROUGHLY HURTING THE SHEEP!!!*
no they're fine
😂 tell me you haven’t lived on a farm without telling me
@@mariamsuliman6035And you do?
I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE HANDLING SHEEP BUT I'M VERY PASSIONATE SO THAT GIVES ME THE RIGHT TO TELL EXPERTS HOW TO DO THEIR JOBS REEEEEEEEE
The sheep didn't complain or bleat ..it was almost like it was glad
