Abstract
Wool fiber measurements defining fleece type are described from cloth remains found in the 17th century wreck of the Wasa in Stockholm harbor. Half the fleeces was from the primitive type known as the hairy medium, and the remainder was distributed over the hairy, generalized medium and medium types, with a few short and fine types. The wools were similar to medieval Swedish wools, being coarser than Viking examples, but finer than the fleeces of living, primitive Swedish Goth breed.
