An assessment of the implications of the results for the farm to mill supply chain in China will also be made. Chinese wool is heterogeneous and requires sorting at the mill. Sorting teams appear to be able to reliably sort the wool into a number of count grades although they largely base their decision on crimp characteristics. There is scope for implementing more objective measurement in the mill but the long-term priority is to produce more uniform lines at the farm level to allow mills to match their purchases of input material to the products their customers demand.展开更多

The factors influencing the intensity of prickle are specialized and anatomized. Several means of sense estimate, including the corresponding statistical measures, are described. A few groping objective methods of evaluating prickle are analyzed, including the testing principles, the advantages and the disadvantages.
