1. A curly fiber having a fiber centroid and comprising a first region having a first centroid and a second region having a second centroid wherein the first region comprises an ethylene/alpha olefin interpolymer composition in an amount of at least 75 weight percent based on total weight of the first region and wherein the ethylene/alpha olefin interpolymer composition is characterized by a low temperature peak and a high temperature peak on an elution profile via improved comonomer composition distribution (ICCD) procedure, and a full width at half maximum of the high temperature peak is less than 6.0° C. and the second region is a material comprising a polymer which is different from the ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer of the first region and wherein the regions are arranged such that at least one of the first centroid and the second centroid is not the same as the fiber centroid, wherein the ethylene/alpha olefin interpolymer composition is further characterized by a density in the range of 0.930 to 0.965 g/cm3, a melt index (I2) in the range of from 10 to 60 g/10 minutes, wherein the I2 is measured according to ASTM D1238, 190° C., 2.16 kg, a molecular weight distribution expressed as the ratio of the weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight in the range of from 1.5 to 2.5, and a tan delta at 1 radian/second of at least 50, wherein the tan delta is determined at 190° C. over a frequency range from 0.1 to 100 radian/second at five points per decade interval and strain amplitude is constant at 10%.
