Answers
Answer:
Natural fabrics, like merino wool, cotton, cashmere, and silk, are made of fibers that are produced by animals and plants. Synthetic fabrics, like polyester, nylon and acrylic, are "man-made" fibers that are created in laboratories.
Explanation:
There are two kinds of fibers available in textile field; man-made fiber and natural fiber. Natural fibers are that are produced by plants, animals, and geological processes which can be spun into filament, thread or rope and further be woven, knitted, matted or bound. Cotton and linen are examples of plant fibers, while silk and wool come from animal sources. Asbestos is a natural mineral fiber.
Man-made fibers are created from natural materials or by chemical processes. Man made fiber are two types. One is synthetic fiber and another is regenerated fiber. Synthetic fiber manufactured from chemical process such as nylon, polyester etc. Regenerated fiber is manufactured by dissolving a natural material, such as cellulose, and then restoring or regenerating the material through extrusion and precipitation. Such as viscose, rayon etc.
