What was the process of wool-stapling from raw wool to finished product?
Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Wool-stapler
Wool-stapling involves several steps: first, raw wool is sheared from sheep and cleaned to remove grease and dirt. Next, it is carded to separate fibers, then spun into yarn. The yarn is dyed, woven or knitted into fabric, and finally finished through processes like washing, pressing, and sometimes adding treatments for durability. The result is a usable wool product.
