TESTED FOR SHRINKAGE.—Mr G. Clayton, New Zealand Wool Board public relations officer (left), examining two test pieces of knitwear with the laboratory supervisee Mr B. Comfort. Both pieces were originally as big as the one on the left, which was made from shrink-resisting yarn. The piece on the right was made from untreated yarn. It shrank almost 40 per cent and became badly felted after a one-hour wash at 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
