Natural fibres are either animal or plant-based.
Silk, wool and hair are all animal fibres
Plant fibres include cotton and linen.
Synthetic fibres and regenerated fibres are manufactured.
Regenerated fibres are made from natural materials, such as cellulose from wood, that are chemically processed. Viscose and rayon are regenerated fibres.
Synthetic fibres are all man-made from organic polymers
Modern fibers: microfibers and smart fibres
Turning fibres into yearn: carding
Turning fibres into yarns: spinning
