Australia : Knitting yarn sector output slips again
Fibre2Fashion - March 20 2006

Australian Wool Innovation Limited said after falling in the first 3 years of decade, production levels in Italy's knitting yarn sector stabilised in 2004.
While this brought some hope that the decline had been arrested, preliminary estimates suggest that production levels fell again in 2005, although not at the same high rate seen in 2002 and 2003.
In contrast to the falls in chemical fibre and cotton yarns, wool yarns did better, with a solid rise in woollen yarns offset slightly by a moderate drop in exports of wool worsted yarns.
