There are two types of fibers:

Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

NATURAL FIBERS

Page 4: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

1. Natural Fibers – are produced from sources in Nature such as the following:

A. Plants – Including:

1. Cotton2. Flax Plant

Page 5: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

ANDB. Animals – Including:

1. Sheep2. Silk Worms

Page 6: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

NATURAL FIBERSNatural Fibers are generally…

Staple Fibers

More Expensive

More comfortable

Shrinks Easily

Wrinkles Easily

Hydrophilic (Water Loving)

Usually needs to

be Dry Cleaned

Page 7: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

NATURAL FIBERSNatural Fibers include…

Wool -

Absorbs & repels water

Used For: Winter Clothing

Silk –

Luxurious Drape & Gummy Texture

Used For: Formal Dresses & Ties

Page 8: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

NATURAL FIBERSNatural Fibers also include…

Linen –

Uneven Texture

Used for women’s suits,

Table Cloths, etc…

Cotton –

Least Expensive & Easiest Care

Used For: Summer Clothes

SYNTHETIC FIBERS

Page 10: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

Synthetic fibers are the second type of Fibers.

There are two categories of Synthetic Fibers:

Cellulosic – A fiber that is made in a factory out of a natural substance

(example wood pulp)

Non - Cellulosic – A fiber that is created in a factory from a man-made source

Page 11: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers are generally…

Less Expensive

Less comfortable

Do NOT Shrink

Resist Wrinkles

Hydrophobic

(repels water)

Machine Washable

Page 12: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers are generally…

Filament Fibers

“Filament fibers” are

fibers that are long and

need to be cut. They do

not need to be twisted

because they are already

long.

Page 13: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers include:

Acrylic – Non Cellulosic

- Resembles Wool

- Is used in the same

types of things that

wool is used for, but

does not absorb as

effectively

Page 14: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers also include…

Nylon – Non Cellulosic

- Is the Strongest Fiber

Nylon is used for

heavy duty things,

such as Tents, back packs,

tarps, etc…

- It is also used for delicate

things such as stockings…

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers also include…

Spandex – Non Cellulosic

It is the only Fiber that Stretches,

It is used for Swim Wear

& Active Wear

Page 16: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers also include…Rayon – Is a Cellulosic Fiber.

- It has a drape and

sheen that

resembles silk.

- It is also ultra absorbent.

- It can hold up to ten times

it’s weight.

- It is used in products

that need heavy absorption

Page 17: CLOTHING FIBERS. There are two types of fibers: Natural Fibers & Synthetic Fibers

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers also include…

Acetate - Is also a Cellulosic Fiber

- Dissolves in Acetone

- It has a sheen that

resembles Silk.

- It is the weakest fiber

made and does not

withstand stress.

- It is used for costumes

and fancy dresses.

SYNTHETIC FIBERSSynthetic Fibers also include…Polyester – Most Versatile Fiber

- It is used to make fancy dresses

- It is used to make polar fleece

- It is made from Petroleum

- It is also used for things

that are not fabric
