A small loop of metal such as steel, bent into a U-shape with the points sharpened, used to fasten sheets of paper together by driving the staple{8} through the stacked sheets and into a formed receptacle which curls the ends in and backward, thus holding the papers firmly together; also, a similar, slightly larger such fastener which may be driven into wood to fasten objects to a wooden backing.

refers to the length of a lock of shorn wool; in the trade, "staple" refers to the longer length wools within a grade.
Either naturally occurring fibers or lengths cut from filaments.
Short lengths of natural or synthetic fiber. These lengths are spun and twisted into thread.
Short fibers, resembling the form of natural fibers, which are spun (twisted) together to form a yarn.
Small fibers approximately 1-1/2 inches in length with crimp in them used to spin yarn or sewing thread. When twisted together, the crimp locks the fibers together increasing the strength of the thread. We spin the following staple fibers into sewing threads: CS & CP Cotton, Polyester, Lyocell®, Kevlar®, and Nomex®. Spun threads have the following characteristics: 1. Fibrous or fuzzy surface contributing to a soft hand, low sheen and good lubricity characteristics; 2. Lower tenacity than continuous filament constructions; and, 3. Produce lower cost thread constructions. (See Fiber Science.)
An official site for selling wool. The government decreed that wool could only be sold at certain locations in order to control the trade and to facilitate the collection of customs. Sites often changed as the objectives of royal policy changed. (Waugh, Scott. England in the Reign of Edward III, 238) Market with monopoly for sale of goods, especially wool. (Sayles, George O. The King's Parliament of England, 145) A place with a monopoly of a particular trade, which must all pass through it. The Merchants of the Staple were the wool merchants trading through the wool staple (at Calais from 1363). Staple courts were established in 1353 with jurisdiction in mercantile cases in towns then designated as wool staples, and continued (generally in the same places) after the wool staple was moved to Calais.

A synonym for fiber. A lock or tuft of wool.
A surface-mounted strike.
Short lengths of fibre that are spun together to form yarn.
Natural fibers, or cut lengths from filaments. The staple lengths of natural fibers vary from less that 1-inch, as with some cotton fibers, to several feet for some hard fibers. Manufactured staple fibers are cut to definite length, from 8 inches down to 1-½ inches. The term staple (fiber) is used in the textile industry to distinguish natural, or cut length manufactured fibers form filament.
