Today, consumers are demanding more and more value addition in the products. So the fibers need some techniques/methods of fiber processing which can be easily tried to convert them in a cleaned form. Bleaching of wool is carried out to clean and to remove yellowish tinch from the wool fibers. Seven methods of bleaching were tried on rambouillet wool to improve fiber whiteness. Best method of bleaching was selected on the basis of physical properties of rambouilllet wool fiber.
