Textiles are materials made by weaving, knitting, or bonding fibers together to create fabric. They are used to make clothes, home items like curtains and bed sheets, and even things like bags, shoes, and car seats.

There are two main types of fibers used in textiles:

Natural fibers – These come from plants or animals, such as:

Cotton (from the cotton plant)

Wool (from sheep)

Silk (from silkworms)

Linen (from flax plants)

Synthetic fibers – These are man-made using chemicals, such as:

Polyester

Nylon

Acrylic

Rayon
