21 New Zealand Flax
NEW ZEALAND FLAX, or HEMPThe fibre obtained from the Phormium Tenax plant which is a native of New Zealand and South Australia. The fibre is very white, soft and flexible and has a high lustre. It differs from most hemp fibres in that it is obtained from the leaf and not the bast. It is not so fine or regular as true flax, nor does it spin as well, but it is superior to either flax or hemp in its tenacity. It is largely used for cordage, twine and floor-matting, through the best fibre is woven into a duck fabric closely resembling linen. There are numerous local names for this plant - The common variety of the lowland swamps is Harakeke, that of the higher ground is Paritanewha, and the best variety is called Taihore. The fibre is generally known as Muka. -
22 Wool Quality
In intention wool quality is meant to be an estimation of the probable spinning value of a given lot or sample of wool. The estimation requires skill of a very high order and those who have to buy and sell wool on the sight and feel of samples have developed a surprising soundness of judgment. In the United Kingdom wools are given quality numbers and a 64's quality wool should spin satisfactory yarn as fine as 64's worsted counts. This is not absolute and many factors influence quality estimations, such as fibre fineness, average length of fibres, uniformity of growth or otherwise, e.g., defects or weaknesses caused by drought, illness of the sheep, etc., crimp, waviness, etc. -
