Abstract
A steam press has been modified in order to control independently the steam temperature and humidity and the rate of steam flow. The changes in temperature and moisture regain in wool fabrics have been studied in relation to these variables. A method of measuring the degree of setting has been established, and optimum conditions for steam-pressing of wool fabrics have been determined.Keywords
