June 2026 in “Studia Biologica” This study investigates the role of microflora and grease in the felting of wool in Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain sheep. It finds that felted wool has higher sweat content and alkalinity, promoting bacterial and mold growth, which reduces wax content. There are significant changes in the fleece's fatty acid composition, including increased erucic acid and decreased cerotic acid, which may act as a natural disinfectant. Felted wool has a lower proportion of saturated fatty acids and a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, making it more susceptible to peroxide oxidation. These changes in the fleece environment directly impact the felting process.
