In summary

Textile fibers fall into three categories: natural, man-made and synthetic. Among natural fibers, cotton and linen stand out for their softness and sturdiness, while jute and hemp are appreciated for their strength and eco-friendliness. For a variety of creations, the choice will depend on the desired use, with cotton ideal for everyday wear and linen for elegant pieces.

What are the different textile fibres?

What is the property of this natural fiber?

The natural fibers are numerous, we will detail here those present in the fabrics and wools that we propose.
Natural fibers are obtained by physical and mechanical transformation, without modification of their composition.
They can be vegetable or animal.
Here is a summary table of the properties of each.

Note that it is not uncommon to find fabrics made of different fibers.
The mixture of these components will make the quality of the fabric.
We will add for example viscose cotton to give elegance while keeping the robustness to the fabric.
