Are all fibres worked using the same process?
Fibres are worked using different processes both as regards the type of machinery used and process flow, depending upon fibre characteristics and length. Main processes are as follows: Processing of cotton short fibres Processing of wool long fibres Processing of wool long-staple fibres. Some vegetal fibres, such as ramie, flax tows and hemp are worked with processing systems that can be assimilated to wool processing with appropriate variations.
