ABSTRACT
Representative samples of Barki wool hair of both Baladi and Shami goats and Camel-hair were collected during shearing time. Scales of fibers play a vital role in some characteristics like fineness, softness, smoothness, light reflection and abrasion. In the present study scales edges found to be smooth or rippled in wool, rippled or smooth in camel hair, while it was smooth in goat's hair of both Baladi and Shami. Distances between scales were near to distance in all studied fibers types. Scales appearance was mosaic in wool, Chevron in camel-hair and wave in goat hair. The variation among studied fibers types in medulla type and medullary index were also discussed.
