1 Staple
A wool-sorting term denoting whether the wool is of sufficient strength and the fibres sound enough for making warp yarn. A collection of several tufts of wool connected together by a binder (see Tufts (wool) ———————— A term indicating the average spinning length of the fibres in a sample of raw cotton or wool, e.g., cotton may be spoken of as 1-in. staple; (2) staple fabrics is a term used for fabrics that are usually in demand. -
2 Wool-Dyeing Viscose Staple Fibre
Viscose staple fibre to which has been imparted properties which allow it to be dyed with wool dyes, so that in wool and viscose staple fibre mixture fabrics both materials are dyed simultaneously.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Wool-Dyeing Viscose Staple Fibre

3 Staple Rayon Fibre
Formerly this only referred to waste resulting from the processing of long filament rayon. Rayon staple fibre is now specially manufactured on a large scale similar to that for the making of long filament rayon up to the process of spinning, after which it is cut into staple lengths suitable for spinning either on cotton, woollen or worsted spinning machinery. Rayon staple fibre is produced in bright and dull qualities, and in various denier sizes. Usual sizes in commercial use in this country are 1.25 denier and 1.5 denier filament thickness and 17/8-in. and 17/16 -in. staple for spinning on cotton machinery or mixing with cotton; 3, 4.5 and 8 denier filaments of 3-in., 4-in., 6-in., and 8-in. staple for blending with wool.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Staple Rayon Fibre

4 Wool Sorting
Wool fleeces contain several grades of wool. The wool sorter's work consists in selecting portions from successive fleeces which agree substantially in their major characteristics of fineness of fibre, length of staple, crimp, and other features he may discern in the wool and which influence his decisions in sorting the wool into match-ings which can be spun together with satisfactory results. The names given to the various " sorts " isolated by the wool sorter may be in accordance with their subsequent use as warp, weft, knitting, etc. (See Wool Classing) -
5 Wool Combing Machines
Four types of combs are used for combing wool. 1. The Holden circular comb with square motion fallers. 2. The Lister circular nip comb with gill box for long wools. 3. The Noble circular comb, the most generally used machine for combing wool and adaptable for long, medium or fine stapled wools. 4. The rectilinear or Heilmann comb for combing short wools up to about 2-in. staple. (See Combing)Dictionary of the English textile terms > Wool Combing Machines
-
6 Wool Noils
Short fibres abstracted during the process of combing wool. Such material is regarded by the worsted spinner as waste and is sold. It is bought by spinners of woollen yarns and as it is new wool of undamaged though short staple it is a valuable component when suitably blended with other wools, etc. -
7 Stringy Wool
Thin, delicate staple wool. (2) A flaw in the wool, consisting of slight matting caused by imperfect scouring. -
8 Viscose Staple Fibre
This is produced in exactly the same way as continuous filament viscose up to the point of spinning. Instead of making a separate thread at each spinneret, the filaments from all spinnerets on a frame are drawn together into a rope which runs into a cutter which chops the filaments into a definite staple length varying from 17/16 -in. for mixing with cotton or spinning on cotton machinery, up to 2-in. to 8-in. for mixing with wool or for spinning on wool machinery. Viscose staple fibre is also produced in various filament deniers such as 1.5 denier equivalent to cotton fibre thickness, or 3 and 4.5 filament denier equivalent to wool qualities.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Viscose Staple Fibre

9 Leicester Wool
Good English wool with a very lustrous, light and long staple, spinning 40's to 44's yarns. The weight of a fleece is 7-lb. to 10-lb. and it is used for such fabrics as Sicilians and linings. It is the choicest of British long wools, and averages 10-in. staple (see also Border Leicester) -
10 Sound Wool
Wool of any quality or breed which is strong in staple. This feature is generally determined by the peculiar " ring " given by the staple when held at tension in the right and left hand and dexterously sounded by being slipped off the end of the third finger of the right hand. -
11 Viscose Staple Fibre In Colours
During the year 1938 supplies became available of viscose staple fibre in colours. For the wool trade there are three colours in 4.5 filament denier and staple length of 2-in. for woollen spinning, and 4-in. to 6-in. for worsted spinning. For cotton spinning five colours are available in 1.5 filament denier and 17/16-in. staple. These colours have the highest degree of fastness and have only a small surcharge for the colour. The producers state that this coloured staple fibre processes with equal facility with normal undyed staple fibre in the same range of counts, so that the difficulties normally met with in the processing of dyed fibres do not apply to these productions.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Viscose Staple Fibre In Colours

12 East India Wool
Much of the wool classed as East Indian is collected from the adjacent countries. All contain much grey hair, Joria is the finest type. The best sort gives a springy, full yam and cloth, hut the lower sorts are ccarse and burry. Kandahar are good carpet wools used largely for native Indian carpet manufacture. Kelat from Beluchistan, is inferior and shorter in staple than Kandahar. Poa Pathan is similar. Kashmir goat wool resembles poor sheep wool. Tibet wool is brought over the frontier, sold and packed in Calcutta. This wool requires much sorting. The export has increased largely in recent years owing to the opening up of the country. Bombay and Karachi are the principal ports of export. -
13 Indian Wool
Much of the wool classed as East Indian is collected from the adjacent countries. Indian wools are mostly sent to Liverpool, where they are sold by auction every two months. All contain much grey hair. Joria is the finest type. The best sort gives a springy, full yam and cloth, but the lower sorts are coarse and burry. Kandahar are good carpet wools, used largely for native Indian carpet manufacture. Kelat, from Beluchistan, is inferior and shorter in staple than Kandahar. Pao Pathan is similar. Kashmir goat wool resembles poor sheep wool. Tibet wool is brought over the frontier, sold, and packed in Calcutta. This wool requires much sorting. The export has increased largely in recent years owing to the opening up of the country. The Punjab Government has bestowed some attention on the improvement of the indigenous breed of sheep, and merino rams are said to have fared well in two districts. The Civil Veterinary Department, Lucknow, United Provinces, concerns itself with the improvement of breeds. Bombay and Karachi are the principal ports of export for Indian wools. -
14 Slipe Wool
The wool obtained from the skins of slaughtered sheep by treatment with lime. Through contact with the lime, which penetrates the fibre, wool treated by this means is harsh in handle and grey and dull in colour, while the operation of washing is made much more difficult and expensive. Lime is only sparingly soluble in water, it loosens the fibre quite well, but it also dissolves substance and leaves the wool drier and less elastic. The lime also combines with the internal yolk, forming a lime soap which is exceedingly difficult to get rid of. Besides this the " slipe " usually contains free lime in the form of small pellets embedded in the staple. Some wools are put on the market containing 8 per cent of free lime, while the combined lime may amount to 2 per cent of the weight of the wool, depending on the strength of the solution and the duration of the immersion. Every pound of free lime destroys 15-lb. of soap. "Slipe" wool is largely employed in crossbred top-making for serges and hosiery of medium-class types. Low qualities are also employed in the manufacture of cheap hosiery, carpets, woollen suitings, blankets, flannels, and rugs. -
15 Persian Wool
The wool is usually exported washed and sorted into white and coloured. Khorassan, is the best type, and the spring clip affords a good combing staple, rather finer than a carpet wool. The coloured wool is used for coarse felts. From Bunder Abbas two classes of wool are shipped: " Kurki," and " Meherjun." Bushire wools come from South Persia, and are similar to those from Bussorah, but they are even dirtier and less desirable. -
16 Baby Combing Wool
Short, fine staple wools, usually under 21/2-in. staple, and treated by the French comb in the manufacture of French-spun worsted yarns. -
17 Iceland Wool
Iceland wools are of a character entirely their own. Gradings are usually in three qualities, whether of whites, browns, fawns, greys or blacks. The Icelandic character is of a wiry, spiral coarse-tipped staple, and a very soft, fine staple root. In combing, these soft finer fibres are removed as noil and often command a high price owing to their remarkable softness and lightness in weight. The coarse fibres are in sliver and top form, and are often blended with other carpet tops. -
18 Bussorah Wool
Inferior carpet wool from Mesopotamia has an irregular staple. It is dirty but rather better than Bushire wool (see Persian Wool.) -
19 Chinese Wool
The wools from China vary widely in length, quality, colour and cleanliness of staple, and are used mainly for American carpets. They are all good spinning wools, but without springiness, and therefore the yam is lean and flat. Shanghai and Tientsin are the chief markets and ports of export. The wool is also sorted, graded, and washed in these towns. Kashgar wool from Chinese Turkestan is a valuable white, silky, soft -wool, transported into Russia for the manufacture of woollen cloths. Wools shipped from North China go mostly to the American market. -
20 New Zealand Wool
A high-grade crossbred wool and one of the most useful wools of commerce. It is obtained by crossing merino ewes with Lincoln or Leicester rams. It has a staple of good and regular length and is soft in handle. It is used extensively for mixing with shoddy and mungo fibres to impart bulk and spinning qualities. New Zealand wools in the main are fairly free from vegetable matter, and this gives the wools a value very often more than like qualities from other countries. Merino wool is a small part of New Zealand production, probably not more than 5 per cent. The wool is generally free from vegetable matter, but is rather "lean" in character, the quality is not equal to the better-known Australian types, while the shrinkage is fairly heavy owing more to heavy grease rather than earthy matter.
