Garnetted stock is produced by mechanically breaking down finished or semi-finished textile goods (fabrics, blankets, garments) back into fiber form. Noils and other waste arise during the initial processing of raw fiber — they are byproducts of combing or carding virgin wool. Garnetted stock tends to have shorter, weaker fibers and is generally lower in value, used mainly in industrial felt, mattress filling, and low-grade blended yarns.

Yes. Under the US Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, finished goods containing recycled or reprocessed fiber must be labeled accordingly — terms like 'reprocessed wool' or 'reused wool' are legally defined and required on consumer products. Importers of garnetted stock who also produce finished goods should ensure downstream labeling compliance.
