Chinese Wool

Chinese Wool
CHINESE WOOL
The wools from China vary widely in length, quality, colour and cleanliness of staple, and are used mainly for American carpets. They are all good spinning wools, but without springiness, and therefore the yam is lean and flat. Shanghai and Tientsin are the chief markets and ports of export. The wool is also sorted, graded, and washed in these towns. Kashgar wool from Chinese Turkestan is a valuable white, silky, soft -wool, transported into Russia for the manufacture of woollen cloths. Wools shipped from North China go mostly to the American market.
