	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Wool classing
		Wool Classing is a profession designed for the sole purpose of grading the spinning capacity or designated purpose for the wool produced.
		Wool crimp ~ The quantity of crimps within a staple (tuft) indicates spinning capacity of the wool.
		The fleece forming the bulk of the yield is placed with other fleece wool as the main line, other pieces suchs as the neck, belly and skirtings (inferior wool from edges) are placed together and sold for such purposes where the shorter less inferior wools are required.

	Wool
		Wool is the fibre derived from the Hair of animals of the Caprinae family, principally Sheep and goats, but the hair of other mammals such as alpacas may also be called wool.
		The quality of fleece is determined by a technique known as Wool classing, whereby a qualified woolclasser tries to group wools of similar gradings together to maximise the return for the farmer or sheep owner.
		The recycled wool may be mixed with raw wool, wool Noil, or another fibre such as Cotton to increase the average fibre length.

		Wool is nature's performance fibre with the ability to breathe and control body temperature both in heat and cold.
		Wool taken from sheep produced for meat typically has fibres that are coarser, of greater diameter, and 1.5 to 6 inches long.
		Freedom from damage refers to the structure of the wool when it is removed from the sheep and implies that the wool is clean, white, long, fine, and free of defects from the environment.

		The wool is sold under a common brand and each owner is credited with the weight of their wool in each lot.
		Classing: The lotting together of fleeces of similar fibre diameter, and style so that the line will be even and can be sold to best advantage.
		Wool, cashmere and mohair are inherently variable in fibre diameter but the average fibre diameter of any sale lot is by far the most important characteristic in terms of processing value.

		Wool is the fibre derived from the fur of animals of the Caprinae family, principally sheep and goats, but the hair of certain species of other mammals such as alpacas and rabbits may also be called wool.
		Freedom from damage refers to the structure of the wool when it is removed from the sheep and implies that the wool is clean, white, long, fine, and free of defects from the environment[2].
		In Roman times, wool, linen and leather clothed the European population: the cotton of India was a curiosity that only naturalists had heard of, and silk, imported along the Silk Road from China, was an extravagant luxury.

	Wool Hide and Skin Classers
		Classers sort wool, hide or skin into categories according to factors such as the length of the wool staples (when wool fibres grow on sheep they form clusters of naturally forming fibres in the fleece), thickness, breed, age, colour and yield.
		Wool classing is generally carried out in an operational shearing shed or a classing house.
		Wool, hide and skin classers are also responsible for keeping computer records, training and leading a team of workers, and may be asked to give advice in their areas of expertise.

	Foreword
		Proper and efficient wool classing is the first and probably the most vital link in the wool quality chain.
		It is no different for the wool buyer, who has to make up a processing lot from wool obtained from various individual clips, in most cases over a period of several weeks.
		The key to good classing is to balance these two conflicting sets of requirements to maximise the potential income of the clip.

	WOOL PRODUCERS \| 'Proud and Profitable' \| Production
		The fleece is thrown upwards and outwards onto a wool rolling table for skirting and classing.
		A smaller property would normally employ a shearing team (including shearers, wool handlers and wool pressers) and the owner would do the wool classing using their owner/classer AWEX classification.
		Current wool production cost structures are based on productivity of usable grazing land (often assisted by with fertiliser), on availability of effective sheep health treatments and more generally, on family farming arrangements.

	Wool Harvesting (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The five main occupations in the wool harvesting industry are wool handler, shearer, classer, and woolclasser and contractor.
		With 5000 shearers and a similar number of wool handlers and crutchers needed for shearing and crutching each year, it is estimated that over 1000 new staff are required annually, as well as 300-400 new woolclassers to prepare the clip for sale.
		Crutching involves the removal of wool contaminated by dung and urine from the rear end of the sheep.

		Classing wool during shearing time to separate inferior wool has become important to produce a quality clip bringing a better overall price for the grower.
		With the LDP payments for graded wool it is important to be as accurate as possible in classing wool lines.

		Wool within these schemes may be sold conventionally via auction (where they are usually listed in a separate part of the sale catalogue), privately to a processor, or taken through early stage processing before sale (for example, sold as wool tops).
		The activities in the wool production cycle are conducted in a sequence which can vary from district to district and even within a district, depending on a number of seasonal and climatic factors, and on the management policies of the producer.
		Wool harvesting, which includes packaging and transport of wool, is the culmination of the producers whole year of planning and management.

		The shearer moves the handpiece through the wool and the fibres are cut near skin level by the action of a comb and cutter, similar to hair clippers.
		The wool roller removes the seedy, short and inferior pieces of wool from the edges of the fleece (called skirting) and rolls up the fleece ready for classing.
		The wool classer assesses (classes) the skirted fleece and places it in the appropriate wool bin.
