23
Q

Linen

A

Clusters of donuts with long strands with joints

Body, strength, durability, low pilling and linting, pleasant hand and thick/thin texture, low elasticity

24
Wool
High cost, shaped by heat/moisture, good moisture absorb tigon without feeling wet, warm, water repellant, flame resistance Looks like hair strand
25
Silk
``` From silkworms Soft hand Natural luster Moisture absorbent Good drape High strength High cost ``` Full triangular cross section long flat strands
26
