New twists ... to an old yarn


Until now raw wool could not be treated in such a way that it maintained its loft (thickness).

Wool Industries Australasia overcame the problem with innovations at each stage: scouring, carding, blending and finally baking the material to produce a thick fluffy "blanket".

The process also deodorises, mothproofs and increases the natural fire retardancy of the wool, giving a non- reactive product that meets stringent insulation standards.
