Vegetable Matter in Australian Wool

These images are extracted from a booklet, produced by AWTA Ltd, which provides a useful reference for the identification of the major Vegetable Matter Types which occur in Australian wool. The need for correct identification and standard nomenclature descriptions of vegetable matter is important and becomes even more so if the industry is to move to a system of selling based on measurement and standardised descriptions alone.

The booklet is no longer in print although copies are still available in small quantities from AWTA offices. Electronic copies can be down loaded from this website.

Images from the booklet can be viewed consecutively using the link provided below or individually using the adjacent list of individual types.
