Question

what do you mean by scales and crimps in wool fibre​

Answer 1

Answer:

Wool fibers are crimped and elastic, and they have scale, which in combination give wool it's unique characteristics. Crimp describes the waviness or texture of the wool, which corresponds to the fineness of the fiber. Merino wool can have as many as 100 crimps per inch.

Answer 2

Heya here is your Ans!

• The crimped configuration prevents wool fibres from aligning themselves too closely when being spun into yarn. As a result it is possible to have wool textile materials with air spaces occupying about two-thirds of the volume. The warmth of wool fabrics is due more to the air spaces in material than to the fibres.
