dc.description.abstract	Felting is a unique property of animal fibres, especially wool. Wool feltability has been shown to have a heritability of 0.31 using a modified Aachen felt ball test (Greeff and Schlink 2001). This study also showed that a large part of genetic variation was explained by ram source. This paper reports the results of studies on the effect of sampling site and sire on wool feltability.
