Methods Of Classifying Textile Fibers

      Textile fibers are normally broken down into two main classes, natural and man-made fibers. All fibers which come from natural sources (animals,plants, etc.) and do not require fiber formation or reformation are classed as natural fibers. Natural fibers include the protein fibers such as wool and silk, the cellulose fibers such as cotton and linen, and the mineral fiber asbestos. Man-made fibers are fibers in which either the basic chem￾ical units have been formed by chemical synthesis followed by fiber formation or the polymers from natural sources have been dissolved and regenerated after passage through a spinneret to form fibers.
