About Greasy Wool
Greasy wool, also called fleece wool, refers to raw sheep's wool retaining natural lanolin and impurities prior to scouring and processing. It serves as feedstock for textile mills producing apparel fabrics, blankets, and industrial felts. International trade classifies greasy wool by fiber diameter (micron count), staple length, and color, with grades ranging from fine merino to coarse crossbred varieties. Major producing regions include Australia, New Zealand, China, and Argentina, which collectively supply approximately 70% of global greasy wool exports. Buyers should verify moisture content and vegetable matter contamination levels, as these significantly impact processing yields and final fabric quality in downstream manufacturing operations.
