What are Fibres?
The Fibres are thin, flexible, and hair-like threads. The main sources of these Fibres are generally plants and animals. The Fibres that are made artificially by humans through machines and technologies are known as Synthetic Fibres. Based on sources they are referred to as natural Fibres or synthetic Fibres. A fibre can be a natural or artificial thin thread. These are used to make clothes, ropes and different articles. Fibres can be long, flexible and thin. Fibres can be obtained from both plants and animals.
Types of Natural Fibres
There are two types of natural Fibres:
- Plant Fibres: Fibres obtained from plants. E.g.: Cotton, coconut, jute, etc
- Animal Fibres: Fibres obtained from animals. E.g.: Wool from sheep, silk from silkworms, etc.
Fibre to Fabric
Fibre to fabric is a process of manufacturing fabric from natural or artificial methods. Natural Fibres and synthetic Fibres are the most common types of Fibres. Fabrics are used for protection against heat, cold, and rain. Different types of clothing Fibres are used in fabric production. Natural fibres like cotton, wool, or silk are made from plants and animals. Synthetic Fibre like rayon and nylon, is a man-made material. Fabrics for clothes are woven or knitted from yarn made of twisted Fibres. Chemical treatments such as dyeing, bleaching, etc are also used in fabric manufacturing.
