textile fibers

Textile fibers are the basic materials used to make fabrics and clothing. They can be natural, like cotton, wool, and silk, which come from plants or animals, or synthetic, such as polyester and nylon, created through chemical processes. Fibers are spun into thread or yarn, then woven or knitted into fabrics. The properties of each fiber—like softness, strength, or resistance to moisture—affect how the resulting textile feels and performs. Understanding fibers helps in choosing suitable materials for different purposes, ensuring comfort, durability, and functionality in textiles and clothing.
