2 All-Silk Goods
These must contain no other textile fibre, such as cotton, linen, wool, ramie, rayon or any other. Fabrics called "all-silk" are commonly adulterated by means of weighted dyes in both warp and weft. The limit of weighting is commonly given as 50 and 100 per cent (warp and weft), the percentage being based on the return weight as against the weight of the natural silk handed to the dyer, which is, of course, 16-oz. to the lb. Actually the percentage of weighting is more, owing to the "boiling-off" losses by the removal of the natural gum. -
3 Armure Wool Fabric

4 Chlorinated Wool
Wool when treated with hydrochloric acid has a high gloss, a greater affinity for dyes, but is rather harsh in feel. The process is to first clear away all greasy matter very thoroughly, then steep in hydrochloric acid solution (cold) for 20 minutes. It is next worked for 10 minutes in a solution of bleaching powder and again treated in the hydrochloric acid and finally thoroughly washed. This process is used to give a silk-like gloss to the wool. Chlorinated wool does not felt, so if woven with ordinary wool, crimped effects are obtained through one yam felting and the other not. It also takes up more dye than ordinary wool, so that two-colour effects could be obtained by dyeing in the same bath. -
5 East India Wool
Much of the wool classed as East Indian is collected from the adjacent countries. All contain much grey hair, Joria is the finest type. The best sort gives a springy, full yam and cloth, hut the lower sorts are ccarse and burry. Kandahar are good carpet wools used largely for native Indian carpet manufacture. Kelat from Beluchistan, is inferior and shorter in staple than Kandahar. Poa Pathan is similar. Kashmir goat wool resembles poor sheep wool. Tibet wool is brought over the frontier, sold and packed in Calcutta. This wool requires much sorting. The export has increased largely in recent years owing to the opening up of the country. Bombay and Karachi are the principal ports of export. -
6 Indian Wool

Kandahar are good carpet wools, used largely for native Indian carpet manufacture. Kelat, from Beluchistan, is inferior and shorter in staple than Kandahar. Pao Pathan is similar. Kashmir goat wool resembles poor sheep wool. Tibet wool is brought over the frontier, sold, and packed in Calcutta. This wool requires much sorting.

8 Chinese Wool
The wools from China vary widely in length, quality, colour and cleanliness of staple, and are used mainly for American carpets. They are all good spinning wools, but without springiness, and therefore the yam is lean and flat. Shanghai and Tientsin are the chief markets and ports of export. The wool is also sorted, graded, and washed in these towns. Kashgar wool from Chinese Turkestan is a valuable white, silky, soft -wool, transported into Russia for the manufacture of woollen cloths. Wools shipped from North China go mostly to the American market. -
9 Grease Wool
Wool as it comes from living sheep with the grease still in it. About 70 per cent of the wool in London is in the natural or greasy condition. The fleeces contain all the natural secretions which are present on the fibres during life, in addition to the whole of the yolk and suint within the fibres, and the dust, sand, earth and vegetable matter which have lodged in the fibres during their growth. These maintain the natural properties of the wool during transit and also facilitate the process of manufacture. -
