Vegetable Matter in Australian Wool

En savoir plus sur le livre

To maintain its position in the world textile fibre market, wool is increasingly required to be specified in more objective terms. Processing machinery is more automated and runs faster than ever before. Hence, tighter tolerances for fineness, length and vegetable fault are necessarily being specified to ensure efficient production. This booklet, produced by AWTA Ltd, provides a useful reference for the identification of the major Vegetable Matter Types which occur in Australian wool. The need for correct identification and standard nomenclature descriptions of vegetable matter is important and becomes even more so if the industry is to move to a system of selling based on measurement and standardised descriptions alone.
