TYPES OF FABRICS

There are two main types of fabrics: natural and synthetic. Natural fabrics such as wool, cotton, silk, and linen are made from animal coats,cotton-plant seed pods, fibers from silkworms, and flax (fiber from the stalk of a plant), respectively. Synthetic fabrics such as nylon,spandex, rayon, polyester, and acrylic are man-made.

Cotton is everywhere. Look for cotton on the label of all of these different kinds of fabric.
