WOOL WITHOUT “TICKLE”
TEXTILE EXPERTS SOLVE OLD PROBLEM. A wool fixing process which takes all the “tickle” out of garments made from it has been evolved by British textile experts. People in countries' with strongly contrasting day and night temperatures will therefore be able to wear woollen underwear with comfort during the day and yet have protection from chills after sundown. The process is also the most successful non-shrink method ever devised for wool, a virtue discovered by the public for themselves; for it was a consignment recently sent to the United States without labels which attracted a second order for what they called “your unshrinkables.” A more attractive texture is given and. there is great improvement in tensile strength and elasticity. Men's and women’s underwear, hosiery, knitwear. made from the wool, have actually been on the market for more than 40 years. The latest advances are due'to unceasing experiment over the whole of that time. irshrdshrecmor woramoraw domarow
