Watch on YouTubeVideoFibres — the raw material of cloth
A fibre is a thin, thread-like material. Many fibres spun together = yarn. Yarns woven or knitted together = fabric. Fabric stitched = garment.
The journey: Fibre → Yarn → Fabric → Clothes.
Fibres split into two big groups:
- Natural — from plants or animals
- Synthetic — made in factories from chemicals (usually petroleum)
Example
Hold up a cotton T-shirt, a wool sweater, a polyester jacket, a silk saree — four different fibres, four different feels.
💡 Tip:Different fibres suit different weather and uses — that's why a wardrobe has variety.
