" Forensic Science Hair & Fibres. In any struggle between victim and attacker hairs and fibres from one are inevitably transferred to the other.
The importance of hair in criminal investigation was realised at an early stage in the development of forensic science, and one of the first scientific papers on the subject was published in France in 1857. By the early 1900s microscopic examination of hair was well established, and in 1931 Professor John Glaister published his Hairs of Mammalia from the Medico-legal Aspect, which became a standard reference work. Hair can provide crime investigators with important clues. Apart from burning, hair is virtually indestructible. It remains identifiable even on bodies in an advanced state of decomposition or attached to objects after a crime has been committed. PRETTY SMART TEXTILES. Knitting-action-of-latch-needle_1290.

Plain Weaves, Rib Weave, Matt Weave, Basket Weave, Twill Weave. Examples of Fabric: Satin: Used for ribbons, trimmings, dresses, linings etc, and originally was an all silk fabric with a fine rich glossy surface formed in a warp satin weave.

The sheep’s fleece is removed once a year by power-operated clippers. The soiled wool at the edges is removed before the fleeces are graded and baled.
