Wool Production and Processing

Merino wool is nature’s original eco and performance fibre, grown on the simple mix of fresh air, sunshine, water and grass. Wool’s unique journey from sheep to leading retailers weaves age-old techniques with modern technology, transforming the original eco and performance fibre into luxuriously soft and highly technical yarns, fabrics and end products.

Discover the amazing journey of wool from the farm in Australia right through the global supply chain to create innovative wool fabrics and garments. Wool is processed by two methods, worsted processing and woollen processing. Once the wool fibre is carded and combed, it is spun into yarn. The wool yarn is then knitted or woven into wool fabric. Wool dyeing happens at any stage. Wool fabrics create luxurious, technical and eco-friendly products.

I have been researching wool production, processing, and all other aspects of the sheep-to-textile pipeline for over a year. This is the single greatest condensed packet of information I've seen. Absolutely BRILLIANT short. The animations are incredibly good, superb. All persons who worked on this should be paraded through the streets.

Whoever did the 3-D art for this, did an absolutely smashing job

Bravo to the production crew on the creating of this video, from script writers, designers, animators, etc. This is a solid piece, and is as informative as it is engaging!

[RUFU]

I have no idea why this was recommended to me but it was tremendously interesting and the visuals were absolute top notch. Amazing how much you can learn from one short video!

[jamesalewis]

I am sure that half of the people having watched this video are here only for the stunning presentation, never minding that they are actually getting genuinely educated about the wool making process. Bravo.

[SzamBacsi]

I hope you gave a medal to your marketing people!! This GEM should be presented in schools!

This is actually one of the best graphic representations of a manufacturing process I've ever seen lol. Also: I love wool and cannot imagine what it's like to spend most of my life in synthetic fibres ewww! The staticky tackiness of them is a synesthetic nightmare. All the people shrieking about the horrors of shearing etc need to visit a damn shearing shed and get their heads right.

This 3D journey through wool fabric production is a visual masterpiece! With no real-world footage, it immerses you in a digital realm, showcasing the process with breathtaking realism. The meticulous attention to detail and expert narration make it a must-watch for art enthusiasts and textile lovers alike. An exceptional blend of education and entertainment, pushing the boundaries of 3D artistry. A digital gem that captivates in just minutes! 👏👏👏

I am a spinner, dyer, knitter, weaver and sewist. This video was so compact, engaging and beautifully illustrated that I’ll watch it again and again and send links to all my fellow crafters. Thank you!

My great grandfather's wool suit has been handed down through the generations and is now in my possession. It is 100% intact and as stylish and comfortable as ever. The suit itself is over 100 years old! The one downside I would say about it - which is not always the case anymore because of new techniques - is that it is quite warm, so wearing it in anything but cool or cold weather is not recommended. But as I said, new techniques have tampered this somewhat in situations where you don't want _too_ much heat retention.

First they take the dingle bop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then...repurposed for later batches.

They take the dingle bop and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it.

It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all the fleeb juice.

Then, a schlami shows up, and he rubs it...and spits on it.

They cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way.

The blamfs rub against the chumbles, and the...plubis, and grumbo are shaved away.

That leaves you with a regular old plumbus.

The quality of the whole video is through the roof.

[Outbreax]

This is by far the best 3D rendered video showcasing the complexity of wool. So satisfying to watch!

[dr.Grigori]

Before I opened this 3:10 min video, I thought, "it's impossible too explain wool making process in such short period". Now I think that this 3.10 min are much informative than most hour-long videos.

[mchljhnm]

The production value of this video is astounding and deserves applause! It's informative in such a way that it is visually engaging, great work!👏

[Catherine_Yong]

Merino wool is the softest wool I have ever worn. I love it so much that I've got a whole winter dress made out of it in gray.

[tobias]

Nice job on the visualization. I feel like most companys won't even go through the trouble of explaining their products anymore, I guess this one should be commended for doing so.

[bigredc]

That was neat, and don't forget, this was all done by hand for thousands of years before technology.

[natgazer]

The 3D artists behind this video have done an awesome work!

[simontide]

I wish my life is healthy as merino wool and colorful as this video.
