Sixty-eight wool blends were processed on the woollen system and were assessed for spinnability by means of a Mean Spindle Speed at Break test. Spinnability improved as mean fibre length increased but deteriorated as mean fibre length increased but deteriorated as CV of diameter and resistance to compression increased.
