fibras naturais, junco, cana-da-�ndia
Normalmente, a tradução de fiapo é "lint". No entanto, no texto que estou traduzindo, a palavra 'fiapo' refere-se a fibras naturais (junco, cana-da-índia, rattan, etc) e não a tecido ou algodão. Como poderia traduzir "fiapo" neste contexto? Seria 'lint' mesmo ou de outra forma? Eis a frase:"Quando há detalhes em fibras naturais, estas não possuem uma coloração uniforme e, com o passar do tempo, poderão soltar alguns fiapos e mudar sua coloração original."
