Cotton fibres are not stronger than wool fibres
It is stated that, "Cotton was better suited than wool to industrialized spinning as its fibres were less likely to break than wool." This may be incorrect. Wool can bend ~20,000 times before it will break, while cotton can only bend ~3000 times before it breaks. There were other social and economic reasons that fabric mills enthusiastically used cotton.
