TSWI has developed the Swedish Wool Standard which simplifies the process of selling and purchasing high-quality Swedish wool, opening up completely new market possibilities for wool rearers. The process of wool classification entails a wool broker procuring wool from diverse farms, meticulously assessing the properties of the raw wool, and classifying it into distinct quality types and grades.
