identifies the importance of animals fibre in daily life
Answers
- Animal fibres such as wool, cashmere and alpaca are highly prized when made into garments since these exhibit desirable properties such as soft touch, warmth, beautiful drape, excellent comfort in wear and, using modern synthetic dyes, unparalleled colouration possibilities with very few shade restrictions.
•Animal Fibres :-
Animal fibres are the natural fibres that can be sourced to animals. These fibres are usually made up of different kinds of proteins. The most popular examples of animal fibres include silk and wool. It is important to note that animal fibres that are extracted from different animals usually have different properties. Furthermore, the types of fibres may also vary from species to species. For example, both Cotswold and Merino are different types of wool (extracted from different sheep species). The former is known for its coarse texture whereas the latter is famous for its soft texture. It can also be noted that natural fibres vary in consistency whereas synthetic fibres are known to be more uniform.

Textile Fibres :-
The textile fibres that are derived from animals are usually animal fibres. Such fibres are usually produced from animal hair, animal fur, animal skin, or certain secretions (usually from insects such as the silkworm). Once extracted, animal fibres are usually woven or knitted (or sometimes felted) in order to form beautiful animal fabrics. Historically, animal fibres have been employed in the production of soft and warm jackets, wraps, blazers, shawls, ponchos, coats and other forms of clothing and accessories. Carpets, covers, and rugs are usually made of relatively rougher animal fibres
