Different Fabrics of Our Lives - SEGMENT 1

Natural Fabrics consist of those types that can be obtained from sources that occur naturally (so to speak). These include cotton ( from the cotton plant), wool ( from sheep), silk (from silkworms), and linen (from the flax plant). Besides these 4 natural fibers, a whole host of synthetic fabrics have also been created in the lab. Synthetic fibres include those like polyester, rayon, nylon etc.

Cotton Plant

Cotton comes from the cotton plant, and is spun into a yarn. It is used to make denim for jeans, terrycloth for towels, and bedsheets as well. Most of the underwear, tshirts and socks are made of cotton. It is a breatheable light fabric that is very soft and light to wear. It is comfortable and is also used as a blend in other synthetic fibres.
