Natural fibers include:cotton. wool, linen, silk, polyester, cashmere, and many more. These fibers are more Eco friendly and better for our environment. These types of fibers are the foundation of the fabrics, it's like a small hair spanned. One of the most interesting things about about wool is that it's
used in cosmetic, shampoo, ointment, etc. In the other hand silk comes from a worm! Yes a worm. How crazy to think that the insects gave use clothing. From the egg it gives us worm, then it gives us leaves, and then the cocoon's heat. In addition we also have cotton the most commonly used fiber! We wear more than any other fiber because it's cheaper and it's a product we buy. Cotton is more breathable fabric. It's absorbent and it keeps you cool. Cotton comes from and plant or a seed fiber.
Lastly we have, linen, that comes from a flax plant. Linen is laborious to manufacture, but the fiber is very absorbent and garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather. Cotton is similar to linen.
