How does my clothes dryer’s lint catcher get so full, yet my clothes don’t fall apart? Where does all this lint come from?
In: Chemistry
Your clothes are fibrous. They are made from small “ropes” that have a bunch of strings spun (or wrapped) together. Those are made from individual stands of whatever material (cotton usually). It’s the individual pieces (strands) that get snagged from wear & pulled when washing/ drying. These pieces are so small in the grand make-up, that when pulled they don’t unravel the larger “ropes”.
