Results are reported of measurements on the mechanical constants of wool from sheep under closely controlled conditions of husbandry and nutrition. The experi mental wool had a change of diameter along individual fibers which was due to a deliberate variation in food intake of the sheep during the growing period. Values for the yield region are given for a Merino and a Corriedale wool. The Merino showed no change due to diameter variation and the Corriedale only a slight change.
