Publisher: CSIRO Wool Technology



   
Paperback - 1998

 The history of wool textile research in Australia is the story of how a partnership between woolgrowers, The Woolmark Company and the CSIRO provided the basis to consider and solve wide ranging technological issues leading to product innovation. Through targeted research and development, the industry has become a world leader and is able to successfully compete on a truly global scale.

From Fleece to Fabric provides an overview of the gifted and talented people who contributed to the success of the wool industry during 1948 – 1998 and how research by CSIRO’s Wool Technology group helped create one of the nation’s main export industries.
