Types, Properties, and Sustainable
Learn about textile fibers, from natural to synthetic types, their properties, production, and sustainable innovations shaping the future of fabrics.
Textiles are an integral part of our daily lives — from the clothes we wear to the furnishings in our homes. At the core of every textile is a fiber, the basic building block that defines its look, feel, performance, and sustainability.
In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of textile fibers, their properties, production processes, and the innovations shaping the future of fabrics.
What Are Textile Fibers?
Textile fibers are slender, thread-like structures that can be spun into yarn and woven or knitted into fabric.
They are broadly classified into two main categories: natural fibers and synthetic fibers.
