Eight samples illustrating average and extreme types of Bikaner wool were selected from 28 samples received from the Government Livestock Farm at Hissar, India. These 8 samples were analyzed for fiber types, dividing them into true wool, hair, heterotype, and kemp fibers. Both the benzol test and microscopic cross-sectional images were used in the classification. Fiber thickness, stretched fiber length, and contour ratio were determined for the 8 samples along with the surface scale measurements for the different fiber types.
