“…The hypothesis that compressional properties provide the key to loose-wool felting is further supported by recent studies on shrinkproofing [27]. In general, it has been observed that modification of the scale structure does not inhibit felting under these conditions, unless the treatment is severe.…”

Large variations in the felting rate of loose wool are attributed, principally, to crimp characteristics of the single fibers.Crimp form alone accounts for 77.4% of the variation and, in combination with the directional frictional effect, for 83.3%.Crimp frequency accounts for 32.5% of the variations and, in combination with diameter, for 70.4%. The product of these latter two variables also accounts for a considerable amount of variation (67.1%).
