Fineness: as thick, 16x more flexible, hand comfort , fatter it is, itchier it is. 13. fibers resistance to extension: separate from fineness = flexible. Can use strength as a reinforcement in something else. Elongation: how much will it stretch before it breaks, % of original length, ex: kevlar 2% stretch, cotton 5% not very stretchy, rayon & wool 20-30, elastane 600-700% Does the fabric go back to shape: how much does it go back to original dimensions, % recovery from % elongation.
