Abstract
Research at the Southern Regional Research Laboratory has resulted in the de velopment of a fiber produced from peanut protein which has been named Sarelon. This fiber is light-cream-colored in its natural state and possesses a soft hand and a warmth similar to that of wool. It possesses an affinity for dyes normally used on protein fibers and may be dyed with vat and direct cotton dyes. Its major weak ness, like that of all synthetic protein fibers, is its low strength.
