Greasy wool, also known as raw wool, refers to wool that has been sheared from sheep and has not yet undergone any processing to remove impurities. Wool, as it grows on sheep, is coated with a natural mixture of grease, sweat, dirt, and other substances. This greasy or raw state of wool is the initial product obtained from shearing sheep, and it requires various cleaning and processing steps before it can be used in textile manufacturing.
Greasy wool is an essential raw material in the textile industry, and its quality and processing methods can significantly impact the properties of the final woolen products. Proper cleaning and processing are essential to produce high-quality wool textiles.
