Very
fine and soft down-hair fibers of native goats can have a potential as a
valuable raw-material source for high quality products. Therefore, down-hair
fibers were collected from native goats raised in different regions of Turkey, then
their physical properties were analyzed and results were compared with cashmere
fibers. Along with mean fiber diameter and its variation, single fiber length
and its variation, which are the most important parameters regarding
spinnability of a textile fiber, this work reports for the first time fiber
scale characteristics of Anatolian native goat down-hair fibers. In this
respect, scale pattern, mean scale frequency, cuticle scale height, curvature,
crimp frequency were analyzed as well as fiber tenacity and breaking elongation
properties. The economical potential of these down-hair fibers in Turkey were
also investigated. The results show that these native goat down-hair fibers,
that have been wasted mostly, have very similar properties to cashmere fibers with
adequate properties for spinnability, hence they have potential for
high-quality textile products as a substitute for cashmere fiber.
