RE: Ich mach' jetzt ganz groß in Wolle... (3) - Die Wäsche

in Deutsch Unplugged • 2 years ago

This was rather interesting to learn those process of having wool from sheep.

Taking a longer time to achieve this is a prove of how intensive one has to be just to have a bucket full of wool.

Quick question...:

  • How is this wool measured while selling...?

  • Whats the finall stage or process before selling out...?

  • How long does it takes to grow again in the sheep's body..? Also during such time...does the sheep has to go through any tough time as that wool was part of it's protection...?

    Thank you for reading my article. I am very glad that it was a little educational for you.

    Quick answers:

    • Wool is weighed. Prices are calculated per kilogram.
    • First of all, this wool is definitely not sold.
      You can sell dirty raw wool, washed wool too. If you want to process the wool, it still needs to be combed and spun into thread. People only do this by hand as a hobby, otherwise factories (who also buy the raw wool) do it.
      The price for wool in Germany is in the cellar. You can get about 0,20 € (about 1 STEEM) for 1 kg of unsorted wool. It is then shredded and turned into plant fertilizer.
      For whole fleeces that can be made into yarn, you can get a little more, but not much more. The demand is almost non-existent, it is actually cheaper for the textile industry to import wool from New Zealand (exactly the other end of the world for us...).
      Fact: From the proceeds of good wool we can not even pay the shearer on the farm where I help with milking... :-(
    • Oh, the hair grows really fast. We have not shorn our bucks completely naked, left about 5 millimeters. The sheep on the farm were naked after shearing. But after three, four days they had a protective down again. Short though, but okay. Unfortunately, a few sheep got sunburned during this time.
      Over the winter, the sheep get a really thick fur, I think no later than May we have to shear our animals again. By the way, in Germany it is written down in the animal protection law that you MUST shear sheep at least once a year.

    Oh great, this is good to know. Unfortunately, I don't think we have such a law here in Nigeria. And besides, most sheep here are just for meat. Though big companies also buy it for wool and milking.
