Wool Products | |||
 | Wool from sheep is used to make numerous amounts of products, from car seat covers to socks. Here is Harlan relaxing with a couple of his favourite wool products. Can you make a list of all the products you use that are made with wool, chances are your wearing some of it right now! For a starting hint see some very popular products made from wool at the Sock It To You website. | ||
Before the wool can be used for these products it has to be removed from the sheep. We call this Shearing. | |||
 Sheep before shearing |  Entering the shearing shed |  Shearing |  Freshly shorn sheep |
But that is only the first part. Before the wool gets turned into any sort of product it goes through a number of steps. | |||
 Baling the wool |  Wool being 'classed' |  Exporting and transporting of wool |  Wool spun and ready to go |
