FTC consults over wool
18/11/2013
Proposed changes include new definitions for cashmere and very fine wools and clarifying descriptions of products containing virgin or new wool. The FTC also wants to define the country of origin as the country in which the wool was processed or manufactured.
Other points it considered, but that do not feature among the proposed changes, were to define fibres from yak, guanaco and other animals as wool, and also to stipulate a minimum amount of wool content a fabric would have to contain to be classified as wool.
