  • 3 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.
