The uniformity of chlorination and I or polymer deposition in continuously shrink–resist–treated wool was assessed by using selected dyes and a fluorochrome, and examining stained fibres in cross–section under a tungsten lu. v. light microscope. The differing levels of staining between fibre sections within a sample provide an indication of the uniformity of treatment.
