• Natural fibres are fibres that come from plants, animals, or minerals.
• Two types of natural fibres are animal-based and plant-based.
• Animal-based natural fibres are wool and silk.
• Plant-based natural fibres are cotton, linen, and jute.

Synthetic fibres:

• Synthetic fibres are fibres that form through chemical processes.
• These are generally extracted during the chemical process using a spinneret which is a device that takes polymers to form fibres.
• Synthetic fibres are artificial.
• They are cheap, stain-resistant, and waterproof.
