1 Shetland Wool
A very fine and lustrous wool from the Shetland sheep, in white, grey or brown and is one of the most expensive wools. The wool is scoured and spun by hand, then treated with sulphur fumes and made up into hosiery, underwear, fine shawls, and crochet work. The wool is an undergrowth found under the longer hairy wool and is not shorn but pulled by hand. It is very soft and silky, of medium length and felts well. The 1938 crop was about 150,000-lb. Only a small proportion of this weight is really fine. Hand-spun yarns are produced from the finest of this wool which give 30,000 to 40,000 yards to the pound. -
2 Chinese Wool
The wools from China vary widely in length, quality, colour and cleanliness of staple, and are used mainly for American carpets. They are all good spinning wools, but without springiness, and therefore the yam is lean and flat. Shanghai and Tientsin are the chief markets and ports of export. The wool is also sorted, graded, and washed in these towns. Kashgar wool from Chinese Turkestan is a valuable white, silky, soft -wool, transported into Russia for the manufacture of woollen cloths. Wools shipped from North China go mostly to the American market. -

12 Papain
PAPAIN is obtained from a tropical tree in much the same way as crude rubber. It exerts a solubilising action on proteins and has been suggested for use in desizing textiles containing gelatine and similar substances.
