Season 4 Episode 03 - Cliff Cox Interview (Slam Wrestling Head of Creative)

Cliff Cox is the Plant Manager at Chargeurs, a multi-national company with a plant in South Carolina that produces superwash and non-superwash wool sliver (combed and carded top). In this two-part series we will use the conversation with Cliff to dive into the deep mysteries of Superwash Wool and the ways it is made.  Interview Notes: Review…..  The structure of wool and wool scales up close  Why and how wool felts/shrinks (DFE)  Wool before and after the chlorine/Hercosett process  Wool before and after the Chlorination portion  Chargeurs, where Cliff work  NEW Notes….  Wool Pools! I just imagine a swimming pool full of wool that I can dive into and swim in like Scrooge McDuck with his vault of coins Wool Mercerization using Silicone Softeners Not Cotton Mercerization Coated Fleeces can keep Vegetable Matter (VM) down  Carbonizing of VM for wool The enzyme based process study abstract UV/Sericin Process for finished fabric Life Fiber Eco Friendly Treatment not durable, since it doesn’t bond to the wool surface Bio-based polymers for non-shrink wool treatment include Collagen, Chitosan, and Feather Keratin Plasma Process, using Ozone, an “organic” process. Modified Drum Carder Descaling EcoWash Wool available from Spirit Trail Fiberworks Comparative Shrink Resistance of different methods This slide show was super helpful Breeds of wool less likely to felt: Doreset Down Sheep *squee* Dorset Down Hampshire Down Oxford Down Shropshire Southdown Suffolk Dorset Ham Dorset Poll Clun Forest Cheviot Portland     I want to thank Cliff Cox and Chargeurs for talking to me in such candid detail about how they run their plant.
