Abstract
A brief review of methods used in the production of shrink-resisting wool and of the effects of the processes on the properties of wool and fibres mixed with it is given. Reasons are advanced for considering shrink-resisting wool as a new “man-modified” fibre and some novel effects that can be produced by their use are described. The final section of the paper gives some notes on experiments that have led to the development of a new shrink-resist process.Keywords
