This just in from Russian science press service Inform Nauka: “Russian researchers have literally suggested burning to ashes thorns and other vegetative admixtures in the sheep’s fleece. It should be noted that that burning to ashes is done intricately, so that the future fiber only benefited from it “becoming solid, elastic and snow-white. The information on this development is placed in the section of promising projects on the site of the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC).” Does this mean they put a blowtorch to the sheep without harming its wool? I really cannot tell.
