Hello readers, today I am going to write about fibers. Fibers make yarn and yarn makes fabric. Fibers can be thinner than your hair, and can be microscopic. In other words fiber is the foundation of fabric a small, hair-like substance. There are two protein fibers, one is wool and the other is silk. Wool makes lanolin oil which is used in cosmetics, shampoo and ointment, although some people may be allergic. Wool is also a warm fiber. Someone might wear a wool coat during the winter to keep themselves warm. Silk is also a protein fiber, it comes from a silk worm. The warm can eat three different kinds of leaves: oak, cherry or mulberry leaves. If someone wants a really good quality silk they would have the worm on a mulberry diet. Later the worm leaves a cocoon with tiny fibers, sadly people have to boil and kill the worm because the worm can break through the cocoon and ruin the silk fibers. Cotton is a plant fiber, which comes from a seed. Cotton keeps you cool because it is absorbent, it also shrinks. Most people know that the reason why we need to wash and preshrink cotton fabric, because if not done so when the garment is made it will not fit the model because it will shrink in the wash. Linen is also related to fibers above, it is absorbent and breathable unfortunately linen wrinkles a lot. Linen comes from stem, which is also a plant fiber like cotton is. All of the fibers listed above are called natural fibers. That is all I have for today, thank you so much for reading, I know it's more than I usually write, but I hope someone learned something or even reviewed. Remember be kind to others, bye.
