New Wool Washing Method Discovered in Sweden
A Swedish Textile Research Institute demonstrator Joel Lindborg has created a new wool washing method that improves fiber length by 20 to 25 percent and enables carding machines to run 30 to 40 percent faster. The process yields 100 kilograms of tanolin per ton of raw wool, aids extraction of potash from salt, and could reduce Sweden's lanolin imports if raw wool use remains high.
