Wool Type with Maximum Crimp
View Complete Answer & Explanation
Question (English)
Which type of wool possesses more crimp?
- Fine wool ✓ Correct
- Medium wool
- Carpet wool
- Coarse wool
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Fine wool
Fine wool possesses more crimp (waviness) than other wool types. Crimp refers to the natural waves or bends in wool fibres — the finer the wool, the more crimps per unit length.
Wool Classification
- Fine wool: Maximum crimp, thinnest diameter (e.g., Merino, Rambouillet). Chokla is the "Indian Merino."
- Medium wool: Moderate crimp
- Coarse/Carpet wool: Least crimp, thickest diameter — used for carpet making
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Medium wool: Has moderate crimp, less than fine wool.
- Carpet wool: Has the least crimp; used for floor coverings.
- Coarse wool: Thick fibres with minimal crimp.
