The shearing period of sheep depends on the regional climate, which is probably June-July. Choosing the best shearing time according to the weather should be when the sheep are healthy. Choosing a sunny day and cutting your hair in advance may be more than you can chew. Sheep should stop grazing, drinking water and feeding before shearing 12 hours, so as to avoid feces polluting wool and causing casualties during shearing. 3 ~ 5 days before shearing, the shearing place should be carefully disinfected and cleaned. In the wild, shearing wool should be done in a dry place and covered with a mat to avoid soiling wool.

When shearing sheep, first lie the left side of the sheep on the shearing platform, the shearers lean against the sheep's back, gently press the sheep's shoulders and hips with their knees, and cut the wool from the right rear rib from back to front. Then turn the sheep to the right side and cut it from the inside to the outside of the left hind leg. Then from the outer arm of the left hind leg, back to the neck, cut the hair on the left side of the sheep for a distance. Then let the sheep stand up, horizontally cut the wool from the right neck and right shoulder below the head and neck, and then clamp the sheep's head with two legs. Then cut off the coat on the right side horizontally from bottom to top, and finally check the whole body to cut off the remaining wool.

Second, wash wool.

After the wool is made, it should be washed in the wool washing factory. Chemical additives and water are added to the big pool, and then the feces and impurities on the wool are removed by the wool washing machine. The washed wool is dry and can be packed by hydraulic press.

Five, cashmere washing

There are two kinds of wool washing: one is ordinary wool washing; The other is the mercerization of mercerized wool.

To wash sheep wool, first put cold water into a large pool of plums and heat them with steam. After reaching a certain temperature, chemical additives are added. Then add cashmere and soak for about half an hour. Then, the workers should trample all the cashmere with their feet to make the chemical additives mix evenly, and then soak it for about half an hour after stepping on it.

Cashmere washing is mainly used to remove impurities in cashmere and make cashmere softer and whiter. The washing quality of cashmere not only affects the damage of cashmere, but also affects the final quality of cashmere products.

Wool is mercerized and cold water is put in a big barrel of plums. Then add chemical additives, and then add sheep wool. Soak for 6 hours
