Measurement of the helicity asymmetric cross section for semi-inclusive production of Λ-hyperons in e^+e^- annihilation near the Z^0 resonance allows a complete determination of the spin-dependent fragmentation functions for the different quark flavors into the Λ. The parity violating, self analyzing, decay of the final state Λ makes the experimental analysis of the helicity asymmetry possible. This experiment should be practical with present day technology at the LEP collider at CERN or at SLC at SLAC.
