What is a Fiber?

  • A fiber is the smallest visible unit of a textile, which can be spun into yarn and woven or knitted into fabric.
  • Fibers are hair-like in appearance and much longer than they are wide.
  • They are the foundation of all textile materials.

Classification of Fibers

  • Fibers are classified based on their source and length.
  • By source: Natural, Manmade, and Synthetic fibers.
  • By length: Staple fibers (short) and Filament fibers (long).
3

Properties of Fibers

  • Physical properties include length, appearance, absorbency, strength, heat conductivity, and resilience.
  • Cotton absorbs water well and dries quickly — ideal for summer clothes.
  • Wool and synthetic fibers do not absorb much moisture — good for winter wear.
