1Wool is classified as which type of textile fibre?
A.Natural protein fibre
B.Natural cellulosic fibre
C.Man-made mineral fibre only
D.Fully synthetic polyamide fibre
Explanation: Balbharati Std XII Textiles presents wool as hair from sheep composed of protein, so it is grouped with natural protein fibres along with silk.
2Which type of wool is generally regarded as the best quality sheep wool in the textbook account?
A.Taglock wool
B.Merino wool
C.Pulled wool
D.Wether wool only
Explanation: Merino wool is described as the finest quality sheep wool — fine, elastic, highly crimped, with many scales that support warmth and spinning quality.
3The natural waviness found in wool fibre that contributes to elasticity and resiliency is called:
A.Lustre only
B.Scouring
C.Crimp
D.Weighting
Explanation: Crimp is the natural waviness of wool. It is responsible for elasticity, bounce, and resiliency emphasised in the wool chapter.
4Removal of hair from a sheep is known as:
A.Carding
B.Combing only
C.Drawing
D.Shearing
Explanation: Shearing is removal of the sheep fleece (historically with shears; now often electric clippers). Sheep are typically sheared in spring.
5In wool manufacture, thorough washing of raw wool with alkaline reagents, soap, and hot water to remove grease is called:
A.Scouring
B.Carding
C.Roving
D.Felting only
Explanation: Scouring cleans raw wool of oil, grease, and impurities. The textbook notes wool can lose more than about 30 percent of its weight as natural grease is removed.
6Compared with woollen yarns, worsted yarns are typically:
A.Made only of the shortest curly fibres and never combed
B.Carded and combed so longer fibres lie more parallel and give smoother, stronger yarn
C.Always left unspun as raw fleece
D.Produced without any twist whatsoever
Explanation: Worsted manufacture cards then combs wool, removing short noils and aligning longer tops. The result is smoother, more tightly twisted, stronger yarn used for tailored garments.
7Under the microscope, wool fibres characteristically show:
A.A completely smooth glass-like rod with no surface features
B.Only triangular glass cross-sections
C.Scale-like surface structures resembling fish or reptile scales
D.Perfectly uniform man-made diameter with no variation
Explanation: Wool microscopic scales provide warmth, elasticity, and felting behaviour. The textbook emphasises scales and uneven diameter as key identifying features.
8Wool obtained by pulling fibre from the pelt of sheep slaughtered for meat is called:
A.Lambs wool
B.Hogget wool
C.Merino tops only
D.Pulled wool
Explanation: Pulled wool comes from pelts of sheep raised primarily for meat. Roots may be damaged in pulling, so quality is inferior to carefully sheared fleece.
9Why do woollen garments help keep the body warm according to the textbook explanation of scales?
A.Scales help trap body warmth and limit cold outer air reaching the body
B.Scales allow free flow of cold outdoor air to the skin at all times
C.Wool has zero moisture absorption so heat never moves
D.Wool melts into a continuous plastic film when worn
Explanation: Scales on wool help retain body heat and restrict cold air, which is why woollens feel warm. Moisture absorption is actually relatively high, aiding comfort and dyeability.
10Four countries that dominate world wool trade in the textbook southern-hemisphere list include Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and:
A.Greenland only
B.Argentina
C.Singapore only
D.Iceland only
Explanation: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina (with Uruguay also noted) are highlighted as major wool-trade countries of the southern hemisphere exporting largely northward.
