Repco wrapped core-spun (RWCS) and Repco wrapped spun (RWS) wool yarns, having textured nylon or polyester as the filament component were spun to a range of yarn linear densities from three lots of tops (1) polymer treated tops pretreated by the conventional sodium hypochloritelsulphuric acid process, (2) the new SAWTRI gaseous chlorine process and (3) untreated. The yarns knitted satisfactorily, direct from the spinner,s package into medium and fine gauge double jersey fabrics. After dyeing, the untreated fabrics were shrink-resist treated in fabric form.
