Answers
Answer:
Plant fibres include seed hairs, such as cotton; stem (or bast) fibres, such as flax and hemp;leaf fibres, such as sisal; and husk fibres, such as coconut. Animal fibres include wool, hair and secretions, such as silk.
The angora wool is silky and cold and is more yielding to the human body, whereas the merino type of wool is very warm and silky. Angora's wool comes from downy coat of angora rabbit is a combination of angora sheep's wool and rabbit hair, while the merino type of wool is made up of only Merino sheep.
Sorting is the method of removal of inferior wool. whereas Scouring is the removal of dirt,grease,lanolin,etc by washing the wool in hot water with detergent such as soda ash and then drying.
moulting- the process of shedding the skin , to grow a New one by insects, like a caterpillar. reeling- it is a method of obtaining silk fibres from the cocoon's.
