3 Wool Classing
An estimation of wool quality by examination of wool fleeces before the wool is presented for sale. It is carried out in a manner to enable buyers to form a fair valuation of the quality of the wool. Wool classing is usually performed on the sheep station or farm. The size of the flock and variations in fleece characters influence the classing. Although the wool is classed in fleece form the valuations of experienced wool classers can be depended upon. (See Tops) -
4 Wool Sorting
Wool fleeces contain several grades of wool. The wool sorter's work consists in selecting portions from successive fleeces which agree substantially in their major characteristics of fineness of fibre, length of staple, crimp, and other features he may discern in the wool and which influence his decisions in sorting the wool into match-ings which can be spun together with satisfactory results. The names given to the various " sorts " isolated by the wool sorter may be in accordance with their subsequent use as warp, weft, knitting, etc. (See Wool Classing) -
5 Wool Washing Machine
A machine for washing raw wool usually arranged with four bowls. Each of these is provided with a pair of squeezing rollers and also rake mechanism for propelling the wool through the liquor towards the outlet end. The constituents of the detergents in the bath are progressively weaker from the first or steeping bowl, to the last or rinsing bowl. Some wool washing machines have a spiral conveyor below the perforated plates of the bowls, and which is slowly rotated to remove the dirt from the machine.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Wool Washing Machine

6 Wool Blending, Mechanical
WOOL BLENDING, MECHANICALA tubular rotary spreading device located over the mixing stacks of wool blends. It spreads in rotation the wool and other components of a blend uniformly over the whole floor area of the bin constituting a mixing. It eliminates manual spreading. The spreader is linked up with tubes through which material is pneumatically conveyed from the opening machines to the mixing stack. The device is a great labour saver and the blending of the components is more uniform than by hand spreading.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Wool Blending, Mechanical

7 Wool Washing
The process of cleansing raw wool by a washing process conducted in a large machine generally with four bowls. The most usual detergents are soap and alkali used in various proportions for different wools in a considerable quantity of water. The temperature of the washing liquors is important and might be 120 deg. F. or 130 deg. F. in the first and second bowls with successive lower temperatures in the third and fourth bowls. The impurities removed are considerable, and might be 50 per cent or more of the greasy weight of the wool. -

9 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. -
10 Wool Yield
Raw wool in the greasy state contains a great amount of extraneous dirt and grease. Before wool is made into yarn, the dirt and a large proportion of the grease or fat is removed by washing, preceded sometimes by a shaking or dusting operation which shakes out loose dirt. The yield of clean wool varies with the locality where the sheep have been reared, and may be from 45 per cent to 75 per cent of the greasy weight. -
11 Wool-And-Cotton Flannel
Fabric used as a substitute for all-wool flannel and made from mixture yarns composed of wool and cotton; in plain and twill weaves. There are numerous qualities and the percentage of wool varies with the price of the cloth.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Wool-And-Cotton Flannel

12 Wool Combing Machines
Four types of combs are used for combing wool. 1. The Holden circular comb with square motion fallers. 2. The Lister circular nip comb with gill box for long wools. 3. The Noble circular comb, the most generally used machine for combing wool and adaptable for long, medium or fine stapled wools. 4. The rectilinear or Heilmann comb for combing short wools up to about 2-in. staple. (See Combing)Dictionary of the English textile terms > Wool Combing Machines

13 Wool Scouring Fabrics
A cleansing treatment of woollen and worsted fabrics designed to remove wool fats which have remained in the yarns during processing, or any oily and fatty matters that have been added to assist processing into yarns. The usual method is saponification in which the free fatty acids of the oils are converted into soaps by the action of alkali in the scouring machine. The strength of the scouring solution, time of treatment, temperature of the scour are varied in accordance with the amount of oil to be removed, the character of the fabric, etc.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Wool Scouring Fabrics
-
14 Wool Fat
Wool during growth has a quantity of fat or grease in its composition which has the dual effect of helping to maintain the health of the sheep and of preserving it from deterioration through the action of the weather. The fat in various growths of wools varies from about 9 per cent to 20 per cent of the greasy weight of the fleece. -
15 Wool Noils
Short fibres abstracted during the process of combing wool. Such material is regarded by the worsted spinner as waste and is sold. It is bought by spinners of woollen yarns and as it is new wool of undamaged though short staple it is a valuable component when suitably blended with other wools, etc. -
16 Wool Packs
Coarse jute fabric used for the packs or wrappers for raw wool during transit. -
17 Wool Crepe
A woollen fabric having a crinkly surface formed by using alternately right-hand and left-hand twist yarns in the weft. Used for dresses. -
