N2  - Poorly orimped fibres are shorter than fibres with good or intermediate crimp within staples of medium Merino wool, irrespective of the degree of abnormality in staple crimp_ As staple crimp deteriorates, poorly crimped fibres are progressively thicker and to some extent heavier than well-crimped fibres. The cortical cells in poorly crimped fibres are thicker and larger in volume than cells in well.crimped fibres, irrespective of staple crimp abnormality. but become progressively shorter as staple crimp deteriorates.
