Nylon-;

Any synthetic plastic material composed of polyamides of high molecular weight and usually, but not always, manufactured as a fibre. Nylons were developed by Du Pont in the 1930s. The successful production of a useful fibre by chemical synthesis from compounds readily available from air, water, and coal or petroleum stimulated expansion of research on polymers, leading to a rapidly growing family of synthetics.

Cotton-;
Seed-hair fibre of various plants of the genus Gossypium, in the mallow family, native to most subtropical countries. One of the world's leading agricultural crops, cotton is plentiful and economically produced, making cotton products relatively inexpensive. The fibres can be made into a diverse array of fabrics suitable for a great variety of apparel, home furnishings, and industrial

uses. Cotton fabrics can be extremely durable and are comfortable to wear.

JuteEither of two herbaceous annuals (Corchorus capsularis and C. olitorius, in the linden family), or their fibre. Jute has been grown and processed in the Bengal area of India and Bangladesh since ancient times. Its biggest use is in burlap sacks and bags, which are used to ship and store many agricultural products. High-quality jute cloths are used as backing for tufted carpets and hooked rugs. Coarser jute fibres are made into twines, rough cordage, and doormats.

Woolen-;
Animal fibre that is the protective covering, or fleece, of sheep or such other hairy mammals as goats and camels.Wool is warm and lightweight

and takes dyes well. Woolen yarns, usually made from shorter fibres, are thick and full and are used for such items as tweed fabrics and blankets. Worsteds usually are made from longer fibres..
