Description: Textiles!
June 19, 2023 by Brandon
Textiles are any filament, fibre, or yarn that can be made into cloth. Fibers are harvested from hair-bearing animals (silk, wool), plants like cotton, jute, and flax; and minerals, such as asbestos.
Nylon is a synthetic fabric used to imitate silk; spandex (trade name Lycra) is a stretchy polyester fibre; and olefin fibres are used for activewear, linings, and warm clothing. Velvet is a woven fabric with a thick, soft pile of cut or uncut loops.
