Answer:

  • Animal fibers are the natural fibers that can be sourced to animals. These fibers are usually made up of different kinds of proteins.
  • The most popular examples of animal fibers include silk and wool. It is important to note that animal fibers that are extracted from different animals usually have different properties.
  • Furthermore, the types of fibers 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 fibers vary in consistency whereas synthetic fibers are known to be more uniform. The textile fibers that are derived from animals are usually animal fibers.
  • Such fibers are usually produced from animal hair, animal fur, animal skin, or certain secretions (usually from insects such as the silkworm). Once extracted, animal fibers are usually woven or knitted (or sometimes felted) in order to form beautiful animal fabrics.
  • Historically, animal fibers 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 fibers.
