Two films on one dvd, one a documentary based upon the shearing techniques of third generation Missoui shearer, Danny Smith. Out in the field with primative surroundings, Danny shears several sheep.  The pre-requisite of fleece processing. Learn just why sheep fleeces are usually covered with vegetable matter and dung.

The second film is processing your own wool:

After leaving the farm or receiving a raw fleece what does one do? This film will show the viewer just where to go from a fleece in the grease to clean spinable/felting fiber. Sorting your fleece to find the best fiber, washing it and what soaps and temperature water to use, drying it. Picking, carding and blending.

Wool processing is one of the films that is  combined with another to make a "chronicle" see Shear sheep and Process wool for the two film at a discount price.
