Question

Appu inquired about what would happen to the fleece once it is removed. The farmer explained the process had four more steps. Which of the following options gives the correct sequence of steps?

• A. Scouring→Carding→Sorting→Combing
• B. Carding→Combing→Sorting→Scouring
• C. Scouring→Sorting→Carding→Combing
• D. Combing→Carding→Sorting→Scouring

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Scouring→Sorting→Carding→Combing

The correct sequence of process is:

Scouring $\to$ Sorting $\to$ Carding $\to$ Combing

The fleece after shearing is washed to remove grease and dirt in a process known as scouring. Sorting is done to separate hair of different textures. Carding is done to remove burrs that appear on wool. This process also detangles and straightens the hair. Combing is done to straighten the fibres and align them for spinning.
