The aim of this 1979 Congress was to review and add to information on the breeding of coloured sheep, the use of coloured wools in handcrafts, mill and factory, and the marketing of coloured fleeces and of articles containing coloured wools. Those active in any of these fields will find this book a very useful reference.
