Staple Fibres : It has a limited length that varies according to the type, such as cotton, wool, jute etc. There are two types of staple fibre, one is short staple fibre, another one is long staple fibre. Cotton is mainly short staple fibre and other maximum natural fibres are long staple except silk. Silk is only natural fibre that is filament.
Filament : It has continuous length that means the length of filament is equal to the length of yarn. All man-made fibres are filament. Man-made fibres are produced as filament, although they used as staple fibres if necessary. So filaments are used as staple fibre, but staple fibres never used as filament.
