Introduction
Have you ever wondered how a sweater is made? Well, the process of a sweater goes through three major steps. The farm, factory, and store. The next paragraph will tell you the first step of the process, the farm
Farm
A sweater begins as a sheep. People sheer the sheep, than sort it. All of the brown or dirty wool gets discarded, but all of the white wool gets to be used at the factory.That is the first step of a sweater.
Factory
The white wool gets washed, dryed, and combed. Combing the wool is called carding. Then, they turn the wool into yarn by spinning it. Next , it gets dyed, packaged, and sent to your local store. That is the second step of a sweater.
Store
Either the people at the store knit the sweaters, or the people who buy the yarn knit it instead. that is the last step of a sweater.
Fun Facts
Now I will tell you some fun facts. Some people dye their sweaters themselves. Sometimes people knit the bottom of a sweater longer to turn it into a dress. Finally, a sweater usually is soft and flexible.
