Abstract
The present study aimed to define those wool traits of significant processing performance to be included in the sheep breeding programs since the wool is textile fibres used mainly to produce woolen garments, carpets, blankets, rugs …etc. About 1.64 tons of wool was harvested during 2000 and 2001 seasons from the flock of Barki sheep at the Maryout Research Station belonging to the Desert Research Center. The harvested wool was subjected to a clip preparation technique and subjectively graded for harshness and bulkiness into four lines; L1: coarse wool with high bulk, L2: coarse wool with low bulk, L3: fine wool with high bulk and L4: fine wool with low bulk. Moreover, a fifth line; L5 was also set as the fleece wool line left without grading for a comparison reason.
