Wool fiber has a complex hierarchic inner structure. However, like most of the natural things, wool fiber does not have an exactly strict self-similar fractal feature. Here, we calculate the fractal dimension of each hierarchic level of wool fiber using the two-scale dimension method. The obtained f...
