Metrological evaluation of flax and hemp fibers.

Fibers	FLAX				HEMP
	Tenacity		Linear Mass		Tenacity		Linear Mass
	cN/tex	SD	tex	SD	cN/tex	SD	tex	SD
Water retted	24.15 ^a	2.59	0.3 ^a	0.08	7.52 ^a	1.37	1.1 ^b	0.05
Osmotically degummed	20.84 ^a	1.82	0.3 ^a	0.07	7.51 ^a	1.54	0.8 ^a	0.18
Dew retted	13.88	1.45	0.4 ^a	0.07	4.59	0.74	1.0 ^a,b	0.15

Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), n = 5. Lowercase letters represent the group for which the mean values do not differ statistically.
