2. Wool measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wool_measurement

   The “coefficient of variation of fibre diameter” (CVD) is a measure of the variation in fibre fineness within the sample fleece, relative to the average fibre diameter. Crossbred and coarse wools are often measured for mean fibre diameter by older instruments—"Airflow" in many parts of the world, and even a projection microscope in some ...

A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_number_(wool)

   The S numbers originated in England, [4] where the worsted spinning process was invented and arose from the worsted yarn count system for stating the fineness of yarn. The worsted count (also known as the Bradford count) was the number of 560-yard (510 m) lengths (hanks) of worsted yarn that 1 pound (0.45 kg) of wool yields. [5]

   Long wool fibres can be up to 15 in, but anything over 2.5 inches is suitable for combing into worsteds. Fibres less than that form short wool and are described as clothing or carding wool, and are best suited for the jumbled arrangement of woolens. At the mill the wool is scoured in a detergent to remove grease (the yolk) and impurities.

7. Staple (wool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staple_(wool)

   Merino and crossbred wool samples showing the different quality numbers. A wool staple is a cluster or lock of wool fibres and not a single fibre.. For other textiles, the staple, having evolved from its usage with wool, is a measure of the quality of the fibre with regard to its length or fineness.
