fabrics and textiles
Fabrics and textiles are materials made from fibers, which can be natural (like cotton, wool, silk) or synthetic (such as polyester, nylon). These fibers are spun into threads and woven or knit together to create fabrics. Textiles are used in clothing, upholstery, and various household items. The choice of fabric depends on factors like durability, comfort, and appearance. Understanding the properties of different fibers and how they’re processed helps in selecting the right material for specific uses, balancing functionality and aesthetic appeal in everyday products.
