Demand for Australian medium micron wool gathers momentum

With the advent of a new fabric that hit shop floors and popularised fleece wool from Australia, demand for medium micron wool is set to boost. The new product is a fur-like fabric that resembles the inside of a sheep-skin boot. It has succeeded in capturing the imagination of the international markets in a big way. Prices paid for 19 to 21 micron wool this season has strengthened in the Australian wool market. The new woolen product is made from 70 per cent Merino wool. The remainder comprises crossbred wool that weighs approximately 970 grams per square metre.

Northern hemisphere’s winter is driving demand for 25 to 27 micron wool this season. At present, China is the leading country that imports these fur-like coats and heavy skirts. A variety of greasy wool ranging from 19.5 micron to 27 micron is used to manufacture this product. However, bulk of it is made from 21 to 22 micron wool. The product is made resilient by using a small portion of comeback and crossbred wool to add weight and reduce cost. This also helps the product stand up once it is processed.
