Coarse wool’s new course weaving a different path
(sticK - 27 March 2012 ) New Zealand’s forgotten fibre’s doing its best to get itself off the mat.
Coarse wool’s course over the past five decades has been almost unremittingly down – both in price and perception.

moves last year by the industry might be showing some green
shoots of promise however.
