What is staple in fiber?
staple is an element of fiber, pertaining to the length of an individual fibrous hair. Staple length is useful to handspinners to know how finely to spin their wool based on the breed. Staple can vary between breeds of wool or other fiber, e.g. Merino commonly has a staple of 2-4 inches, while others may have very long staple length. To see for yourself, hold a small piece of fiber or roving from either end and gently pull outwards, until the fiber pulls appart. Measure one of the pieces, and that is your approximate staple length.
