About Scoured Wool
Scoured wool is raw fleece that has undergone cleaning to remove lanolin, dirt, and vegetable matter, serving as the primary feedstock for yarn and fabric production. Major grades include clean-scoured wool (typically 48-56 micron fiber diameter) and semi-scoured wool, traded in bales of 150-200 kilograms. Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa dominate global production, with Argentina and the Caucasus region also significant exporters. Buyers should verify moisture content specifications carefully, as scoured wool absorbs moisture readily during storage; optimal levels range from 12-16% to prevent microbial growth and maintain processing quality.
