Woolen is one of the oldest textile industries in India. In India, during historical times Woolen textiles were quite popular as a cottage industry. Woolen spinning is done by two types of spinning methods that are ring spinning; which is also used in producing worsted yarns and mule spinning which is only used in the woolen spinning industry. Spinning is the process in which textile fibers and filaments are taken and converted into yarn. For many years people spun natural fibers into yarn with the help of hands.
Weaving is one of the popular ways of fabric manufacturing. It is mainly being done by interlacing two orthogonal sets of yarns in a regular and recurring pattern. The actual weaving process is headed by yarn preparation processes named winding, sizing, drawing, and denting.

Whereas, knitting is a process of using long needles to interlink a series of loops made up of one continuous thread. Each knot connects to another one, and once enough loops are being made, it results as a flat piece of material that is called a textile.
Bleaching is commonly carried out to impart whiteness of textile fabrics by removing natural coloring matter. Moreover, the process of dyeing is done to improve the marketability of textile products and to suit the needs of a customer by adding colors.
The four major methods of textile printing are roller, block, screen, and heat transfer printing. In all the methods the application of color generally as a thick paste is done by fixation, usually by steaming or heating, and then by removing excess color by washing.
