Natural fibers are hair-like threads obtained directly from plants, animals, and mineral sources. Botanically, a natural fiber is a collection of cells having long length and negligible diameter. They are obtained as continuous filaments or discrete elongated pieces similar to thread. They can be spun or twisted into yarn such as cloth and can be converted into nonwoven fabrics, such as paper or felt. An example of a commonly used natural fiber is cotton. Other examples include wool, jute, silk, hair, fur, hemp, and linen.
