Staple fibre
Peace silk is also known as Ahimsa or Eri silk. It is a staple fiber, and is sometimes called vegetarian silk because the silk worm is not killed during harvesting.
Filament
Silk is the only natural fiber classified as a filament fiber. It is produced by silkworms and consists of long, continuous strands that can be woven into luxurious fabric.
The main difference between polyester staple fiber yarn and polyester filament yarn is that polyester staple fiber yarn is made up of chemicals. Polyester filament yarn contains both man-made and natural fibers.
Jute is classified as a staple fiber. This means that instead of being one continuous length (filament), jute fibers are short in length and are spun or twisted together to form yarns for weaving.
Linen is a staple fiber, derived from the flax plant. It is a natural fiber used to create various textile products like clothing, bedding, and home furnishings. The long fibers in linen contribute to its durability and strength.
Tencel is a staple fibre. That is it is cut into staple lengths during production so that it can be processed into yarns and nonwoven fabrics on conventional textile processing machinery. The cut lengths are similar in length to cotton or to wool. Continuous filament Tencel yarns are not produced but in theory could be. In a filament yarn all of the fibres in the yarn have the same length as the piece of yarn.
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.
No it is not.
a natural fiber
Natural. It is the fiber made by the silkworm to surround the cocoon of the silk worm larva.
Cereal is considered a staple food because it provides fiber.
