Dawson says the fine crossbred fleece was slightly buyers' favour with longer shears up to 2% easier and shorter types firm.
Coarse full length crossbred fleece and longer shears remained firm with 2 to 4 inch wools firm to 1.5% dearer and 2 to 3 inch up to 2.5% stronger. Crossbred oddments generally remained firm.
