Comment The market isn’t showing any great indication to move either way. Prices seems to be relatively stable around this level. This is a good result considering the general lack of confidence. The shining lights are at either ends of the wool supply spectrum. The ultrafine types, sub 15.0 micron, and the crossbred types are […]

Comment It seems the positivity coming out of the Nanging Wool Conference was not enough to keep the wool market from slipping gradually this week even with the late rally towards the close of the week. New season wool is starting to roll in and we are seeing some very impressive style and strength in […]

For us, the focus was on the first small, but high quality, superfine offering. The quality so far is very good yet not so fine […]
