Wool Preparation Tips

Please ensure your wool has been prepared and presented by following the tips below, in order for us to give you the best possible price.

Points to remember:

  • The maximum weight is 204kgs for body wool and 220 kgs for oddments.
  • All raddle must be removed even if it says it can be scoured as the Wool Scours will reject any lines with raddle and they will be graded as oddments.
  • Make sure no foreign materials are in the bales eg. Press bars, towels, rubbish. This contamination can cause major issues further down the processing line.
  • Bellies and Skirtings taken out of wool.
  • Your wool deserves a good, clear simple brand. Use Felt pen (not raddle). Buying wool low in vegetable matter is critical when it comes to producing carpet that is clean and clear. Thistle and seed contamination removed from main line will produce higher prices
