Three important characteristics of loose wool bulks; compression, felting, and handle score are shown to be dependent upon the decrimping properties of the fibers. The relationship between decrimping energy and compressional load is very strong and it is suggested that rapid measurement of compressional properties may be of use in commerece and manufacture.
