Seasons and Wool Outlook in New South Wales Trade
The report notes wool yields vary with pasture conditions in New South Wales. Light fleece weights follow dry years, with some districts showing 63 sheep per bale while state averages approach 40, and favorable flocks can reach 30 per bale. Prices for crossbreds have risen since January, aided by tighter merino supplies and stronger demand, with Japanese imports showing sustained interest. Future Australian wool prospects appear positive despite possible mill slowdowns, and Sydney catalogues will be issued on May 4 and May 12.

New unshrinkable wool devised in Leeds labs
Scientists at the Wool Industries Research Association in Leeds have developed a soft unshrinkable wool that does not irritate sensitive skin. Unlike prior methods, this process treats the wool fibers themselves, producing a finished fabric that is soft, glossy, and free from prickle. Two years of research and mill testing have occurred, but no commercial rollout is planned until the entire trade is ready for the drastic industry shift.
