\nA new report examining the use of wool in the 21st century as a key textile
\nfibre has now been released by industry intelligence source ReportBuyer.<\/p>\n
\nThe production of wool textiles plays an integral part in history even
\nbefore fashion became a business some centuries ago. Surprisingly, wool
\nmakes up a relatively low percentage of the global fibre market. The
\nmajority of global wool production goes into clothing and accessories.<\/p>\n
\nThe price of wool, of course, is much higher than cotton or man-made
\nfibres, and is often regarded as a luxury yarn, confined to niche markets.
\nTechnical fabrics and synthetics are fast becoming leaders in the fabric
\nworld, however they do not have the sustainability, performance or even
\naesthetics that wool does.<\/p>\n
\nThe report aims to show the rather forgotten, yet unique textile fibre and
\nexamines its place in the textile value chain. It addresses its decline in
\npopularity, the reasons for its current comeback, and assesses future
\nprospects for the wool industry.<\/p>\n
\nThe report aims to demystify the tangled international supply chain for
\nsheep’s wool and specialised wool products such as cashmere, alpaca, and
\nmohair, from the growers to the processors, spinners, and textile
\nmanufacturers in various regions of the globe.<\/p>\n
\nIt identifies new developments in breeding, processing, and spinning wool
\nfibre, that are resulting in improved product; and discusses the consumer
\nlifestyle changes, creative product development, and marketing efforts
\ndriving the fibre’s future prospects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
