These all contribute to how wool will preform when processed. Modern textile machines are now very fast and efficient, therefore length and strength of the the fibre become critical. Having accurate length and strength data allows processing performance to be predicted, thus adding value to raw wool.<\/p><p>When wool is sold to mills a length will be specified in the contract. Getting this wrong means the buyer will reject or claim on the final delivery. This can be very costly when some of the deliveries are hundreds of tons. To avoid this risk, exporters often use a certain amount of longer than specified wool in a blend to guarantee that the delivery meets length requirements. This adds to the cost of that Lot of wool. Being able to know the accurate length of each component in a blend makes wool more valuable to a buyer.<\/p><p>Staple length and strength is a major factor in the value of wool. Subjective testing leaves room for human error and therefore the risk involved in this process is reflected in the valuation, with buyers building in a risk margin for this uncertainty. Independent objective assessment gives all sectors of the industry greater confidence to value wool to its true potential. <br \/>Benefits of length and strength measurement:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ecf87b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ecf87b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Provides confidence that the buyers\u2019 assessments are accurate.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Reduces the need for a risk margin.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Increases competition from buyers.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Gives equity in pricing.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Captures the real value which can be lost if characteristics are underestimated.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Provides information for farm management decision.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staple Length &#038; Strength Length and strength is the only characteristic of cross bred wool not objectively tested up till now, having been subjectively assessed (visual and touch).
