Fir Leaf Wool.

Fir wool is a textile fibre which in
SaXony is manufactured out of the nee
dies of the fir tree, the process being
partly chemical and partly mechanical.
For this purpose the needles are gathered
in spring and summer, when they are
young and green; old and withered ones
being unsuitable. They are taken into
barns, and there dried in current of air.
When dried, they are subjected to a set.
Ting and fcrmenting process similar to
that in use for flax. This softens the
woody parts, and loosens them from the
fibre, but the complete separation is only
obtained after a lengthy boiling by
steam. During this boiling a by-pro-
duct is obtained in the shape Of an oil
Cir wood oil, which is gathered and
sold to chemists as a remedy for rheuma
tism and govt, its properties being SINH
lar to turpentine. The complete separa-
ton of bast and fibre is produced exactly
as with fax. The fibre is now passed
through milling machine similar to
that in use for woollen cloth, and is then
carded and spun like cotton. Generally
the carded fibre is mixed with a certain
proportion of cotton or wool. and thus
a kind of merino yarn is produced.
which is worked in the hosiery frames
into singlets, drawers, and stockings
these fabrics being then sold as anti,
rhumatics and as Il preventive of govt
When examined under the microscope
the fibre appears rs tube, and striped,
and as if covered by fine network.
Goods made with this fibre arc sold to a
considerable extent in Germany, though
they are dearer than the ordinary meriuO
goods.
