2. Describe the purpose of scouring in the production of wool ?

Dear student,
The various  steps involved in the production of wool are:
​​​​​Shearing: It  is  removing fleece from the animal body.
Scouring: Washing of  sheared hair to remove dirt, dust and grease is called as scouring.
Grading: In this grading  of wool is done based on its length, colour, texture and dyeing
Dyeing: In this process the sheared wool is dyed in different colours.
Drying: Squeezing out the maximum amount of water from the wool, through rollers is called as drying
After drying, the wool is weighed and packed into bales and are sent to mills for processing.

Hence the function of Scouring is to remove dirt,dust and grease from the sheared hair.
