Wool fiber has a natural crimp due to its unique chemical and physical structure. This causes the fiber Wool is a year-round fiber. Wool can easily absorb up to 30 percent of its weight in moisture without feeling damp or clammy. The ability of wool to absorb moisture makes it comfortable in both warm and cold conditions.

The time and frequency of shearing has a great affect on the quality of wool harvested as it can have a major influence on important fibre characteristics, and in particular the degree of fault(s) present. High preparation standards are also maintained in the IWS member countries. ... 1.1.3 Fibre Characteristics of Wool...

Fiber characteristics of raw and processed wool from 40 fleeces shorn from four age groups of Polypay ewes managed at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station (USSES), Dubois, Idaho were studied. Fleeces were from ewes 1, 2, 3 and 4+ yr of age, with 10 fleeces being selected at random to represent each age group.
