Ten greasy Merino wools were compressed to densities over 1250 kg/m3, stored at about 900 kg/m3 for up to 28 months, and processed to top. Compared with control lots, there was the same hauteur, the same or less noil, and an apparently greater top and noil yield. One compressed, long, coarse crossbred wool gave more noil and top with the lower hauteur.
