<p>87.106.143.157: </p> <hr /> <div>racoloclida<br /> The '''staple''' of a fibre is the length of the individual fibres.<br /> <br /> Most [[wool]] is generally between 2 inches (very short) to 4-5 inches (better quality fleece that can be spun very fine).<br /> <br /> Fine [[cotton]]s have a 3 inch staple, whilst [[linen]]s have a 6-10 inch staple. Linens are also stronger than the cotton for the same reason.<br /> <br /> [[Silk]] is the longest of all - having one fibre continuously wound around and around to make the coccoon.<br /> [[category:fabric]]</div>
