Wool treatment process reduces wool shrinkage and felting
Scientists at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research report a new alkali based process that makes wool less shrinkable and less prone to felting. The method passes sliver through a bath of alkali, a neutralising acid bath, then a water wash. Trials show better size retention after washing than untreated wool, with over a ton treated at a Sydney mill. Original work funded in part by the Australian Wool Board.
