9 Indian Wool
Much of the wool classed as East Indian is collected from the adjacent countries. Indian wools are mostly sent to Liverpool, where they are sold by auction every two months. All contain much grey hair. Joria is the finest type. The best sort gives a springy, full yam and cloth, but the lower sorts are coarse and burry. Kandahar are good carpet wools, used largely for native Indian carpet manufacture. Kelat, from Beluchistan, is inferior and shorter in staple than Kandahar. Pao Pathan is similar. Kashmir goat wool resembles poor sheep wool. Tibet wool is brought over the frontier, sold, and packed in Calcutta. This wool requires much sorting. The export has increased largely in recent years owing to the opening up of the country. The Punjab Government has bestowed some attention on the improvement of the indigenous breed of sheep, and merino rams are said to have fared well in two districts. The Civil Veterinary Department, Lucknow, United Provinces, concerns itself with the improvement of breeds. Bombay and Karachi are the principal ports of export for Indian wools. -
10 Persian Wool
The wool is usually exported washed and sorted into white and coloured. Khorassan, is the best type, and the spring clip affords a good combing staple, rather finer than a carpet wool. The coloured wool is used for coarse felts. From Bunder Abbas two classes of wool are shipped: " Kurki," and " Meherjun." Bushire wools come from South Persia, and are similar to those from Bussorah, but they are even dirtier and less desirable. -
11 Iceland Wool
Iceland wools are of a character entirely their own. Gradings are usually in three qualities, whether of whites, browns, fawns, greys or blacks. The Icelandic character is of a wiry, spiral coarse-tipped staple, and a very soft, fine staple root. In combing, these soft finer fibres are removed as noil and often command a high price owing to their remarkable softness and lightness in weight. The coarse fibres are in sliver and top form, and are often blended with other carpet tops. -

18 Falkland Isles Wool
Sheep breeding is about the most important industry of these islands. While not quite so valuable as the Punta wools, nevertheless, the original Cheviot strain introduced by Scotch settlers is always apparent in the wools grown today, and where tweed effects are desired they are often used in combination with wools of a like nature, and for knit goods. The quality range is from 46's to 50's, and the wool is a coarse type of Cheviot having a fibre somewhat harsh and weak, but of a good colour.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Falkland Isles Wool
