Study book on sheep and wool for breeders, shearers and users by specialist Betty Stikkers.
Betty Stikkers has been committed to the professionalization of wool use in the Netherlands for many years. She is one of the founders of WOOLS.NU and organizes every year the Day of the?Wool. Together with others, she previously published the widely used guidebook Wool in the Netherlands.
In order to improve the quality of the wool produced in our country and its processing, she developed a course for sheep farmers, shearers and wool inspectors. The book do you know wool is the textbook she uses for this course, but it is also of interest outside of it for any seriously interested wool enthusiast.
