		Mullion Superfine Wool ^Votes:0 The main factors involved in the production of Mullion Superfine Wool are breeding, weather, and attending to the seasonal jobs of caring for each sheep. Top quality superfine wool is produced by developing a balance among all of these factors. Breeding : Breeding is the most important variable in striving toward superfine wool . The Mullion acquires rams to join with their ewes every year. The wool of the selected rams, along with that of the breeding ewes become genetically finer with each season. As a result, the lambs are born with finer wool year after year. The Weather and its Influence on Wool: The next factor which influences the fineness of wool are changing weather patterns.

		Encyclopedia Smithsonian: How do I store antique textiles at home? ^Votes:0 About Smithsonian \| Websites A-Z Home › Encyclopedia Smithsonian › Art and Design How do I store antique textiles at home? Bible Quilt made by Harriet Powers who was African American; Athens, GA. About 1886. GENERAL PROCEDURES: The storage area should be clean, cool, dry, dark, and as free as possible from drastic changes in temperature and humidity, thus ruling out the basement or attic. It is also best to set aside one drawer or chest of drawers just for the storage of family heirlooms. SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS: 1. Textiles should be stored as clean as possible because dust particles can actually cut fibers through friction and abrasion. Colorfast and washable items should be washed and stored unironed, unstarched and unblued. (Information on wet cleaning cottons and linens, quil Read More Go to Site
