The definition doesn't seem to make grammatical sense. If it means "low-risk lines of wool", then what are those? Equinox 23:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I don't know where the reference to "low-risk lines of wool" comes from (OK, Chuck Entz changed it). But as a Kiwi the revised def sounds right, I have added a reference, I imagine the wool classer has to do his job before the wool goes to a wool sale, which occurred frequently in my home town of Invercargill. Wool was sold to all over the place, probably still is. I remember having an after-school job in the telegraph office, where cablegrams were sent to exotic places such as Bradford and Roubaix (in France) after a wool sale.

Actually, I think the RFC can be removed now. DonnanZ (talk) 18:20, 10 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
