Composition

The hair is mainly composed of an animal protein called keratin, the same that

INTRODUCTION

Wool is a natural fiber obtained from sheep, primarily sheep.


Wool products are mostly used in cold areas because their use
the body heat is maintained, this is due to the nature of the fiber of the material.

Since ancient times, wool has played an important role in clothing for man.
the harshness of the weather. Currently, there are several types of wool made
taking into account a series of characteristics which are: fineness, regularity,
uniformity, resistance, elongation, elasticity. So far it is believed that the
washed wool production is around two million tons being the
main producers Australia, Argentina, China, United Kingdom, the dissolved Union
Soviet Union, New Zealand, South Africa, and Uruguay.
CONCLUSION

This process is very interesting in current Guatemala, it does not produce wool from the
highest quality, so far it is not possible to export sheep wool, as the sheep
In Guatemala, they are of a breed not suitable for wool production.
