I.W.S. On Blends
The policy of the International Wool Secretariat on blending was defined by Mr W. G. Bowen, field director of the Wool Board, in an address in North Canterbury last week.
Mr Bowen said that I.WJS. policy was first to establish a clear identification and a quality reputation for pure wool. This it was doing with Woolmark. When that object was achieved, the secretariat would consider promoting blends. The blend would, however, have to confer a property not attainable in pure wool. The secretariat did not deny the importance of some blends, but it could be simply shown that there was a better return to the woolgrower in promoting pure wool, and research was duplicating the qualities of blends for pure wool—as in permanently-creased trousers.
