Abstract
Wool fiber measurements are described from four unconnected remains: (1) some possibly Iron Age sheepskin from Germany that appeared to have a hairy fleece type; (2) the cloth from the Quernmore burial, Lancashire (dated 1300 years BP), one yarn of which was of hairy medium type, and the other true medium; (3) some sheepskin from Saxon Durham which had wool of true medium type, and (4) some wool of medieval date from Baynard's Castle, London, which was of true fine type.
