Exploring the different types of fibers

Fibres are thread-like structures that are long, thin and flexible. These may be spun into yarns and then made into fabrics. There can be different types of fibres. On the basis of their origin, fibres are classified as natural fibres and synthetic fibres.

Natural Fibers:

Plant Fiber

1. Cotton
2. Jute
3. Hemp
4. Bamboo
5. Banana
6. Coir
7. Sisal
8. Flax
   

Animal Fiber

1. Wool
2. Casmere
3. Camel
4. Alpaca
5. Mohair
6. Silk(Silk Worm)
7. Angora

Man Made Fiber

Synthetic Fibers

1. Rayon
2. Polyester
3. Nylon
4. Spandex
5. Acrylic
6. Polyamide
   
   

Regenerated (Semi-Synthetic) Fibers

1. Rayon (Viscose):
   Rayon is a versatile fiber made from cellulose, often derived from wood pulp.
2. Lyocell (Tencel):
   It’s produced using a closed loop process that recycles nearly all the chemicals involved.
3. Modal:
   Modal is a type of rayon made from beech tree pulp.
4. Acetate:
   It’s not much more stronger than other fibers.
