3 Cotton (Peru)
Peru produces on an average about 250,000 bales of cotton per annum. There are three varieties grown very different from each other in their general characteristics Peruvian Sea Islands - This is an inferior Sea Islands cotton; and though it has a fairly long staple and a silky appearance it is more irregular, both as to colour and length of staple than the pure Sea Islands grown in the United States It has a length of about 13/8-in Rough Peruvian - This is a harsh wiry cotton, with a staple of about 11/4-in. It is an indigenous variety, and is the product of a perennial plant, which attains a height of about 10 feet. On account of its very harsh fibre this cotton is used chiefly or mixing with wool, with which it has some properties in common Smooth Peruvian - Smooth Peruvian is a soft class of cotton, very similar to American from which cotton it is not improbably descended. It constitutes about 70 per cent of the crop. Staple 11/8-in. -
4 Wool Extract
Manufactured or recovered wool obtained from old cloth and rags, from which vegetable fibres such as cotton, flax, rayon, etc., have been removed by carbonizing. -
5 Cotton Flannel
An imitation of wool flannel, in all cotton, either plain or twill weave, and raised on one or both sides; 6's to 10's weft used, 30's to 36's twist. -
6 wool
قُمَاشٌ صُوفيّ \ flannel: soft woollen or cotton cloth: flannel trousers. wool: woven cloth made from the soft hair of sheep. -
7 Alpaca (Extract Wool)
Alpaca "wool" weft is obtained by disintegrating fabrics made of mixture materials, and may contain animal and vegetable fibres. The term is also applied to a lustre fabric woven with a cotton warp and alpaca wool weft, plain weave. When dyed in solid colours it is cross-dyed, the cotton warp being dyed before weaving, and the piece is piece-dyed after leaving the loom. The warp is usually 2/80's Egyptian. The cloth wears well and not liable to gather dust, so is used for linings and men's summer coats. A typical cloth is woven 56-in., 72 X 70, 2/80/ 28's alpaca. The true alpaca is a long, white or coloured smooth hair obtained from the Auchenia paco of South America (see Alpaca Wool)Dictionary of the English textile terms > Alpaca (Extract Wool)

8 Extract Wool
This is wool extracted from cotton and wool mixture fabrics. The mixture rags are treated with an acid, then heated, when the cotton is burnt out or " carbonised," leaving only extract wool. This remainder is washed, dried and pulled into loose fibres like any other shoddy. The fibres average 1-in. to 11/2-in. (see Carbonisation) -
9 Artificial Wool
Is really a recovered waste product, and has grown to an important branch of the textile industry. A large quantity of cheap suits are made from these yarns, of which there arc several varieties, known as mungo, shoddy, extract wool, etc. The various wool wastes which are obtained from rags and waste containing wool, cotton or other fibres are so treated that the vegetable fibres are destroyed by chemical means. The animal fibres remaining are respun into yarns. The term is wrongly applied because the fibre is actually wool, although recovered (see also under Mungo, Shoddy, Extract Wool). The term is also given to a rayon fibre manufactured in Italy and sold as "Snia-fil". The Wool Textile Delegation should give a definite ruling on materials such as this which have no wool in their make-up (see Wool Substitutes) -
10 Blending Wool
After the materials have been well opened and cleansed, a large square bed of one material or colour (say 12-ft. X 12-ft., 6-in. to 9-in. thick), is made on the floor, then a bed of the second element in the mixing is spread over the preceding one, and so on. Each layer is levelled by beating with sticks; and oil is usually distributed by a rose spout as evenly as possible, according to requirements, on the layers. Oiling is, however, better done by a spraying apparatus attached to the teazer. No oil must come on cotton in a blend, but remanufactured products require more oil than wool. Scotch manufacturers usually put on 1-lb. oil to 5-lb. wool. There is little doubt that this proportion is excessive and militates against good results, but bad customs die hard. Dyed wool being harsher than undyed wool needs more oil. When the pile of layers reaches a convenient height (say 6 feet), it is broken down in vertical slices, shaken, and put through the teazer to mix thoroughly. Improved methods of blending wool are now being adopted, principally consisting of air trunk conveyers (see Blending Wool, Modem System) -
11 Immunised Cotton
A chemically-treated cotton that resists ordinary cotton dyes, but has a marked affinity for basic dyes and some acid dyes. Fabrics in which this yam is used together with ordinary cotton yarns when dyed with direct or other cotton dye will give white effects on the immunised cotton, thereby yielding two-colour effects. The yarn can be used with wool, silk, linen, viscose, acetate and other fibres as effect threads. This chemical treatment produces a yarn differing greatly from ordinary cotton - the fibres shrink, lose lustre and become almost cylindrical. -
12 Animalised Cotton
ANIMALISED COTTON (see Amidated Cotton)Cotton so treated chemically that it will take up acid dyes similarly to wool. A process for treating cotton yarn's with solutions of silk, gelatine, etc., in order to give certain properties of animal fibres to the cotton. -
13 Armure Wool Fabric
Made in wide widths for use as dresses, coats, etc., good quality yarns, 72-ends, 68 picks per inch. The warp is usually end and end mohair and worsted, two-fold yarns, such as 2 / 60's or 2 / 40's - The weft is single worsted 26's to 32's. Other qualities are made from one kind of warp, but in right and reverse twist, and up to about loo-ends per inch. Cotton weft is used in the cheapest cloths, about 48's yarn dyed black. The photograph shows a typical wool Armure fabric made in a fancy rep weave 84 X 68, 2 / 60's botany / 30's botany. A heavy cloth is also termed "Armure", used for drapery and curtains, woven with brocade figuring on the armure weave ground, and all-wool yarns

14 Artificial Cotton
This is prepared from the barked trunks of pine trees by the reduction of thin shavings into wood-wool, which is washed, then acted upon by steam, and heated with caustic soda under pressure, being thus converted into cellulose. This paste-like substance is reheated and pressed through a form of sieve into threads. By treating with ammonia and sprinkling with water these threads are made flexible and as easy to work as cotton. The wood is not abundant, and the cost of production is very heavy, which tends to prevent this fibre becoming a commercial success. In 1933, a Japanese company claimed that they could produce this material so cheaply that it would compete successfully with cotton. -
15 Bactrian Wool
The fibre yielded by the Bactrian or Asiatic camel. It is a long hairy material and is mixed with wool or cotton, and spun into yarn which is used locally, to make the warm hairy lining of cloaks and outer-garments. -
16 Forest Wool (Pine)
The fibres extracted from pine needles and sometimes mixed with cotton and wool and used for coarse blankets.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Forest Wool (Pine)
-
17 Slag Wool
This is an interesting byproduct from the blast furnace. It is not a textile fibre, although it is used as packing material. The process of manufacture consists in subjecting a small stream of molten slag to a strong blast of steam or compressed air. This has the effect of breaking if up into minute spherules, and each small bead particle as it is blown away carries behind it extremely delicate filaments resembling fine glass that are often 2 feet to 3 feet in length, but readily break up into smaller lengths, and in bulk look like a mass of cotton of a dirty slate colour. Slag wool has the property of great lightness combined with that of being absolutely fireproof; it is also a very good non-conductor of heat and sound. -
18 Ishan Cotton
A hybrid cotton grown in Nigeria. It is a " meaty " kind, full to the feel and the fibres cling almost like wool. -
19 Peruvian Cotton
A variety of cotton grown in Peru of good staple and both hard and soft nature. Best adapted for mixing. The hard variety is known as " Rough Peruvian " and the soft as " Soft Peruvian." Both sorts have a staple about 11/16-in. and the rough variety is largely used for mixing with wool, which it closely resembles. The smooth mixes well with American, up to 50's counts, and is much used for soft hosiery yarns. -
20 Sagar Cotton
A commercial variety of Indian cotton having a weak, harsh and short staple of dirty colour. It has a peculiar smell and is like wool to the touch. Marketed through Bombay and grown in Bhal, Rampur, Cambay, Dholka, and other districts. Salt and clay are often found in it.
