[QUOTE="Giles1, post: 7029130, member: 902"] Wool needs a new market and some imagination. I would like to see wool samples sent to Uni's, chemical producers, any kind of centre that can analyse stuff,break it down ,whatever and tell them if you can find a use for this stuff or its constituents, there is a supply ready and waiting and for the first year you can have it for sweet f.a. After that you pay. I was thinking giving it away for nothing is no worse than burying it in the muck heap,but how long before some idiot slaps a disposal cost on it and says no burning, burial or rotting of said product allowed? Anyway, as long as man made textiles are cheap, wool textiles are niche, and most GB wool is unwearable . (Blackie wool budgie smugglers anyone?) Just a wee aside,once had a phone call from a man who wanted a handful of fresh wool. He had an artificial leg and wanted the wool to put between his stump and the cup it went in. Said nothing else was as effective at preventing chaffing. That's definitely a niche market though. [/QUOTE]
