Generally the tag affixed to prepared wool depends on the preparationFleece is generally either washed or not, if not it needs to be washedContrary to popular myth, it should not be spun before being washed, since the dirt in it is more than simply soil in the fleece and may contain contaminants and bacteria (do you really want to spin manure into your yarn? It doesn't wash out wellRaw wool can also harbor insects, lice, fleas, and diseases.)In the grease usually refers to wool that has not had all of the lanolin stripped out of it in the washingWashed fleece can be spun from the locks (groups of wool formations as it grows on the sheep) or it can then be carded or combedCombing produces true roving of equal length fibers that are drafted through a diz (disk with a hole in it)to various diametersThis may or may not require further drafting before spinningCarding produces batts, also of varying thicknesses, that look like quilt battingsThese batts can be further divided into what is called top, or the ropes of wool commonly soldThese are also refered to as rovings, depending on the producerPersonally I have my fleeces washed professionally and carded into top for ease of spinning.
