Question

Most natural yarns are made from staple fibers, a term which means that the fibers are A. twisted to give them a bulky texture. End of exam B. crimped to make them elastic. C. produced naturally in short lengths. D. very long with a smooth surface.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. produced naturally in short lengths

They are short and can be seen on a variety of different materials and can sometime even be made from mixtures of different materials. This is opposite of filament fibers such as pure silk or synthetic fibers which are very long and smooth. A common example of a stable fiber can be cotton which is seen as the small puffy thing.

Answer 2

Hello!

I believe the correct answer should be C. Produced naturally in short lengths, because 'staple fibers' in yarn mean that the yarn comes in short, discrete lengths.
