Comment Sales have resumed after the Easter recess. The market remains keenest on the finer types and also the shorter knitting types and all cardings. The medium and broader fleece are deteriorating in terms of quality and dominate the offering in terms of volume. There is no doubt the inferior quality on offer is impacting […]

Global shipments are impacted by general congestion for all international […]

Keenest interest was around 18.5 to 21.5 micron with the selection of finer types very limited. The general expectation leading into each sale has been for a […]
