Wool has superior warmth, comfort and flame retardant properties. It is being used for
manufacturing of premium apparels, carpets and upholsteries since early civilization of the
society. With the change of time, synthetic fibre dominated the natural fibre including wool. It has
replaced the wool in most of the applications due to cheaper price. However, wool is still an
important fibre for textile industries in decentralized sector. The decentralized woollen sector plays
an important role in linking the rural economy with the manufacturing woollen industry. This paper
provides an overview of wool processing in decentralized sector of India. Possible interventions
and research areas are suggested to improve the quality of woollen products as well as newer
products produced thereof. There is a need to create innovations in the use of Indian wool for
woollen products. New products like wool-based denim will increase consumption of Indian wool.
Coarse wool may be explored as material for insulation, acoustical, construction, bulletproofing,
automobile and paper industries and agriculture.
