Abstract
The origin, frequency of occurrence, and appraisal of tenderness in fleece wool in Australia are examined. Five out of ten buyers penalized Average Spinners wools for tenderness when the strength of the staples had fallen to about 30% of that of completely sound wool; nine out of ten buyers penalized wool when its strength was about 25% of that of sound wool.Keywords
