Description
This author tested three fibres that have a reputation for significant floof factor: Cormo, Polwarth, and Targhee. All three are considered high crimp. How much would they expand in diameter and lose in length? Would the spinning style affect that growth or loss? How would the number of plies affect the change? How would the finishing technique impact it?
