What's Wrong With Wool?

FAQ For Vegetrial World
Scientists over the years have bred a Merino sheep which is exaggeratedly wrinkled. The more wrinkles, the more wool. Unfortunately, greater profits are rarely in the sheep's best interests. In Australia, more wrinkles mean more perspiration and greater susceptibility to fly-strike, a ghastly condition resulting from maggot infestation in the sweaty folds of the sheep's over-wrinkled skin.

How can we obtain our desired Shrinkage?

Frequently Asked Questions
Rubber Belt Thickness - As Rubber Belts become thinner, they lose their ability to effectively shrink. This is because a thinner Belt has less surface movement and thus, less recoil action. Therefore, at some point, as Belts become thinner, they lose their ability to effectively shrink fabric. If you require substantial shrinkage (12 - 16%), particularly when processing heavier fabrics like denim, this point usually occurs when a 2 5/8" (67mm) thick Belt reaches 2" (50mm)*.

What are the die shrinkage factors for zinc alloys?

Eastern Alloys, Inc.
Shrinkage occurs when metal changes from liquid to solid as well as when it cools in the die. Quoted values for die cast zinc alloys are as follows: However, these values may be affected by constraint caused by the die so that some castings or parts of the same casting may shrink differently. Larger parts are often more likely to be constrained than small parts so the designer may use a slightly lower value for large dimensions. See similar questions...

How do I dye fabric?

FAQ
The fabric must be able to withstand 60 degree Celsius water and must not be damaged by creasing. Cold dyes exist but they're a pain in the neck to use and the colour doesn't stand up to repeated washing. Buy some Dylon Hand Dye (Woolworths sell it along with their sewing stuff) and a bag of cooking salt. Then get hold of an old bucket or bowl, a pair of rubber gloves and a clean wooden stick (the bowl, gloves and stick will be stained afterwards). See similar questions...

What about Swedish wool?

Topic FAQ for the Wehrmacht List
This is one of the big controversies in reenacting today. Several US-based companies produce reproduction uniforms that are practically indistinguishable from the real thing. On the other hand, for about half the cost or less, of a new-made repro, a properly converted Swedish wool uniform looks pretty damned close. Most of the established US-based reenactors are moving towards the repros whilst the big European groups remain happy with converted Swedish wool. See similar questions...
