Encyclopedia entry on wool from Brockhaus' Konversations-Lexikon (1903). It defines wool as animal hair that forms a staple, and covers fiber fineness, thickness, elasticity, crimp types, and the fleece structure. It gives tables of crimp grades, chemical composition, historical wool prices, European and world production, and raw wool imports by country, and suitability for woolen versus worsted spinning. It ends with a bibliography of German and English works on wool.
