This paper describes significantly improved finishes for control of felting shrinkage in wool apparel fabrics obtained with blends of glycerol-based and bisphenol A-based epoxy resins with an amino polyamide resin. Oxidative pretreatment of the fabric improves the shrinkage-resistance. Much of the stiffness imparted to the fabric by the resin treatment is removed by mechanical methods. Successful application of a typical resin formulation to full-size woollen fabrics is described.
