Question

The picture shows the process of making wool. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The picture illustrates the wool-making process.

Overall, the process requires a supply of thick-coated sheep and involves four main steps: shearing, cleaning, drying, and spinning -- the fourth is repeated one more time in the process. The final product is materials for knitting or producing jackets and carpets.

In detail, the first step in the wool-making process is to shear the sheep. Its fleece is then cleaned to remove dirt and other contaminants, followed by the drying procedure. Once the fleece is dried, it is spun to make wool; however, there is a by-product of that step - strings which are then recycled.

Now that wool is made, some unmentioned steps follow to make tufts of wool which are subsequently left in the storage. And in order to commercialise such tufts, the spinning procedure is repeated to form balls of yarn which can be either sold to consumers who use them to craft hand-made scarves, sweaters, and other clothing or transported to factories to produce jackets or carpets.

Unfortunately, this diagram is quite incorrect. Some important steps are missing, and spinning is never done twice! I could not make sense of this diagram. Here is a good overview. https://www.baabuk.com/blogs/stories/how-wool-is-made-a-sheeps-story

Here is a better diagra

Here is a better diagram.

Hand carders are used two at a time to brush the wool between them until all the fibers in a bunch more or less align in the same direction. It is like combing or brushing your hair - the strands of hair become are parallel and smooth. To card, the person carding holds a carder in each hand. They place a small amount of fiber on one card and pull the other carder through, while taking care to catch some of the fibers. By catching some fibers on the moving card, the fibers are separated, which allows foreign matter to fall out. After carding, the aligned tufts are removed, and these are used for spinning.

There are machines that can do carding much more quickly and efficiently.
