A processing trial was conducted at CSIRO comparing three batches of 17 µm, superfine
fleece wool, collected from sale lot samples and matched for fiber properties but not staple
strength. The three batches were compiled from auction display samples to have average
staple strengths of 24, 32 and 43 N/ktex and were converted to top, yarn, and plain weave
fabric. We demonstrate that, similar to previous research with mid-micrometer and fine
wools sourced from commercial lots over a broad range of sources typically offered for
auction and assembled as a consignment, staple strength has little influence on processing
and product performance beyond top for superfine wool. We also compare our processing
results to the predictive tools available to the industry (e.g. TEAM-3 and Yarnspec). The
discounts applied to low staple strength raw wool should primarily be a reflection of
commercial factors, for example supply and demand, rather than on objectively measured
performance and technical attributes of the top and yarn. Economic benefits in topmaking
may be possible through the selection and use of discounted, low staple strength wools
with minimal impact on the technical attributes for yarn and fabric.
