Hi there
The characteristics of Wool fiber or protein fibers are as follows:
They are composed of amino acids.
They have excellent absorbency.
Moisture regain is high.
They tend to be warmer than others.
They have poor resistance to alkalis but good resistance to acids.
They have good elasticity and resiliency.
The quality of wool fibers produced is based on the breeding conditions, the weather, food, general care etc. For example, excessive moisture dries out natural grease. Similarly the cold weather produces harder and heavier fibers. The wool could be classified in two different ways:
By sheep from which it is obtained
By fleece
Thank You
