After sorting, the same grades from each sorter are carefully blended and spread over a large floor area to make a uniform blend. These various lots are carefully placed in layers to obtain uniform quality within each lot. Thus, when the wool or mohair is started through the processing, any variances in the judgment of the sorters will be equalized and a uniform yarn will result." 25 x 20.5 cm.
