Prepare fleece wool for classing
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to the wool roller working under the direction of the wool classer. The wool classer provides the overall direction for the level of preparation and skirting required while the wool roller must allow for differences between individual fleeces. It includes the requirement for the wool roller to work as a team member with other shed hands, and to do so at the required pace.
This unit covers the process of preparing fleeces in preparation for classing and defines the standard required to: separate wool from the fleece that lacks uniformity; check fleeces for wool faults and impurities; skirt fleeces, removing those portions that significantly affect the uniformity and value of the remaining fleece; roll fleeces ready for the wool classer; work at the required pace to maintain wool flow at shearing.
