Crossbred slips slightly, finer wools hold

Prices at last week's South Island wool sale were slightly cheaper for crossbred fleece but stayed firm for wools finer than 34 micron.

A good-quality offering of mid-micron and merino wool largely held firm and atttracted strong bidding from a wide number of international sectors, Dave Burridge, of PGG Wrightson Wool, said.

Roger Fuller, of CP Wools, said crossbred prelamb fleece was in strong demand, although the season was about complete for those types.
