Popis: ALTHOUGH ‘doggy’ wool constitutes only 0.8 per cent of the Australian wool clip, its incidence has increased by 50 per cent in some fine-wool growing areas over the past three years1. ‘Doggy’ wool can be spun and woven into cloth on conventional machines to give a textile which is marginally inferior to normal; on the latest machines ‘doggy’ wool can be spun finer than normal2. The fabric is slightly stronger and has a slightly harder ‘handle’ or feel than that from normal wool. A possible indicator of incipient ‘dogginess’ in fleece wool is reported below.
