Domestic Wools

Domestic Wools
DOMESTIC WOOLS
An American term for the fleece wools, or, as they are sometimes termed, washed fleeces, bright wools, territories, Texas and Californias. Broadly, the term Domestic Wools include all wools grown in the United States. Washed Fleeces include the Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan fleeces, and are very similar to Australian wools in fineness and felting properties. Bright Wools are slightly coarser but more lustrous than the washed fleeces. Territory Wools are somewhat similar to the above and derive their name from the fact that they come from the West and Northern States, which for many years were under territorial government.
