A German encyclopedia article on spinning fibers (Spinnfasern) from Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, 8th edition. It defines plant and animal fibers suitable for yarn and cloth, compares their properties (hygroscopy, strength, cellulose content, burning behavior, chemical tests), and lists the major fiber-yielding plant families and species. A full-page plate illustrates nine fiber plants including hemp, jute, ramie, agave, piassava, New Zealand flax, cotton and flax, and the article ends with references to Royle, Wiesner and Richard.
