Wool textiles
- In 2006, wool accounted for 1.9% of total world fibre use.
- Australian wool is primarily utilised in production of knitwear (27% of our clip), and men's and women's wovens (60%).
- Young adults, who dominate global discretionary apparel expenditure, are influenced more by price and performance rather than the textile fibre used.
- Worsted fabrics are made with longer fibres that produce a surface that’s smooth to touch. Woollens are made with shorter fibres that stand up from the surface and give the fabric a hairy touch.
- Wool is natural, biodegradable, and has a myriad of benefits that translate into garments and products.
