Paper Twine Urged for Market Wool Tying
The United States Department of Agriculture urges wool growers to use only paper twine for tying fleeces intended for market. Fiber from jute, hemp, or sisal can contaminate wool and lower cloth value, while paper twine can be fully removed in processing. The department collaborates with traders to promote paper twine and County agents will assist growers in adoption.
