41 Punta Arenas Wool
Tierra del Fuego is a fine wool country, and its wools are more commonly known as Punta Arenas. Although some merino is produced, by far the greater amount is fine crossbred with the 56's quality predominating. Punta wools have a character of their own, due to the crosses used, but largely influenced by climatic conditions and pasturage. Much of the wool is heavy in shrinkage due to the loose soil being blown furiously by high winds. The colour is often beautifully white, probably due to the heavy earthy matter in suspension preventing the natural grease from tingeing the wool before scouring is„ effected. The wools are very spongy and blobby, and although occasionally un-uniform in fibre diameter, have a value of their own where apparent substance is accompanied by lightness in weight. The wools are chiefly used in the United Kingdom. -

43 Satin
Originally a silk cloth with warp predominating over weft. The weft is almost completely covered, giving a very smooth warp face. The best satin weaves are those in which the intersections are distributed widely and equidistantly spaced. Satin weaves can be made on any number of ends and picks above four, but the perfect satins, e.g., those in which the intersections are equidistant in warp and weft are few, see examples numbered 5, 10 and 13. The 8-end satin also has good distribution of the intersections. In all satin weaves each thread and pick intersects once only in each repeat. This permits fabrics to be made with a greater number of warp threads per inch than picks; or a greater number of picks per inch than warp threads. In both cases maximum smoothness of surface appearance is obtained, especially when the Schreiner finish is applied. A great variety of fabrics are made in the satin weave; silk, rayon, wool, cotton, flax, etc., are all used. Silk satins very often have a cotton back formed by using cotton yarn as weft.
