Port Phillip Wool

Port Phillip Wool
PORT PHILLIP WOOL
Wools raised in the southern part of Victoria, and shipped through Melbourne and Geelong are known as Port Phillip wools. Port Phillip is an extensive bay on the southern coast of Victoria, and the two important wool centres named are located on its shores. Port Phillip wool is a standard fine merino; it has a good colour, felts well, spins fine yarns and is largely used for fine worsted dress fabrics.
