We have made an analysis of the lipids deposited on the surface of wool staple fibers divided into tip and base sections prior to investigation. The analysis is limited to a determination of free fatty acids and the ester fraction by gas chromatography and mass spectrography. The findings show that the changes in lipid composition, both quantitative and qualitative, depend on the location from which the lipids have been sampled.
