Description xiv, 131 leaves : illustrations ; 30 cm Summary This work represents the first systematic study on the properties and processing performance of Australian alpaca fibres.

The bleaching and dyeing behaviour of alpaca fibres has also been examined Notes Submitted to the School of Engineering and Technology of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Deakin University Thesis (Ph.D.)--Deakin University, Victoria, 2003 Bibliography Bibliography: leaves 115-131 Subject Alpaca (Textile) Alpaca (Textile) -- Grading -- Australia.
