 What are Natural
Fibres?
 Natural fibres, any hairlike crude material straight
forwardly reachable from an animal, vegetable, or
mineral source and convertible into non-woven
textures like felt or paper or, subsequent to turning
into yarns, into woven fabric. Most material
filaments are thin, adaptable, and generally solid.

 Natural Fibres are for example:

~Cotton
~Linen
~Silk
~Wool
 Cotton is a natural, delicate fibre that
develops with the seeds of the cotton
plant. (Fibre is long and flimsy, similar to
hair.)

After, the cottons fibre is accumulated
from the plant, it very well may be turned
into cotton string.

The majority of the cotton accumulated to

make material comes from crops
developed on cotton manors

 Silk

• Silk is gotten from the covers of

hatchlings, so the vast majority of the
bugs raised by the business don't live
past the pupal stage, as they are steamed
or gassed alive inside their covers.
Roughly 3,000 silkworms kick the
bucket to make each pound of silk.
