A new mechanical method for treatment of wool fibers has been predicted to impart certain desired properties to coarse wool. Subsequent treatment of wool with sodium sulfite and the proteolytic enzyme savinase 16L, Type EX has been conducted. The treated wool fibers have better dyeability with acid, reactive, and basic dyes than the untreated ones. The felting resistance of wool has been enhanced to an acceptable degree. Scanning electron microscopy investigation has been used to monitor any change in the morphological structure of wool fibers.
