Abstract
Wool dry‐chlorinated in the laboratory plant described in Part I of this study was subjected to three tests. Degradation of the treated wool was assessed by load‐extension measurements on single fibres. Batches of treated wool were converted into knitted fabrics and handle and washing shrinkage tests were carried out on the fabrics. The treatment only slightly affected the elastic behaviour of single wool fibres, indicating insignificant degradation of the fibre. The best shrink resistance was obtained under conditions that also caused greatest deterioration in handle.Keywords
