Seasonal conditions hold back wool production

as well as a decline in the volume of 20 to 26 micron wool. Volumes have increased for other micron ranges. The average mean fibre diameter for the season to March was 21.1 micron, up by 0.1 micron. Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales all recorded a...

Staple Length & Strength

One of the most important characteristics for determining the value of greasy wool is the average fibre length that will be achieved when the wool has been processed or combed into wool top. This length is known as the Hauteur (fibre length in the Wool...

Australian shorn wool production forecast of 324 Mkg greasy in 2023/24

to be 4.53 kg greasy, down 2.2% compared to 2022/23. AWTA key test data for the season to date show no change in mean fibre diameter (20.8 microns) or vegetable matter (2.2%), a 2.1 mm decrease in staple length to 87.5 mm and a 0.6% reduction in yield...
