Some of the physical principles of the steaming of wool yarn packages are discussed. Experimental results are reported for the penetration of moisture and heat into packages during vacuum and open steaming. The influence of residual air in vacuum steaming has been investigated. Finally, recommendations are made for carrying out effective vacuum steaming.
