69 Blending Wool
After the materials have been well opened and cleansed, a large square bed of one material or colour (say 12-ft. X 12-ft., 6-in. to 9-in. thick), is made on the floor, then a bed of the second element in the mixing is spread over the preceding one, and so on. Each layer is levelled by beating with sticks; and oil is usually distributed by a rose spout as evenly as possible, according to requirements, on the layers. Oiling is, however, better done by a spraying apparatus attached to the teazer. No oil must come on cotton in a blend, but remanufactured products require more oil than wool. Scotch manufacturers usually put on 1-lb. oil to 5-lb. wool. There is little doubt that this proportion is excessive and militates against good results, but bad customs die hard. Dyed wool being harsher than undyed wool needs more oil. When the pile of layers reaches a convenient height (say 6 feet), it is broken down in vertical slices, shaken, and put through the teazer to mix thoroughly. Improved methods of blending wool are now being adopted, principally consisting of air trunk conveyers (see Blending Wool, Modem System) -

72 South American Wool
Three-quarters of South American wool is of a Lincoln character, due to the importation of these sheep for crossing purposes. The Argentine gives the biggest supplies of long, strong, preparing wool suitable for Bradford machinery, while a fair amount of finer cross-bred wool from 48's to 56's quality of a good combing length is grown in the Republic. Argentine wools are subject to " burr " trouble, and this varies in degree according to season. South of the Argentine there is a fair amount of wools of a merino and fine crossbred character, these being chiefly from Chubut, Santa Cruiz, Deseado, etc., but these latter are mostly unattractive and wasty owing to loose soil, often with occasional grey fibres, lacking uniformity in length and diameter, and difficult of estimation from the grease state to the clean equivalent.Dictionary of the English textile terms > South American Wool
