Abstract
Extremely large variations occur in the compressional properties of wool samples. These variations are attributed to differences in the crimp structure of the fibers, crimp form and crimp frequency together accounting for 88.6% of the observed varia tions in compressional load. Alternatively, a single variable consisting of the product of crimp frequency and fiber diameter accounted for 88.7% of the variations. Other characteristics such as diameter, length, and mechanical properties of single fibers proved to be nonsignificant.
