Fibres from Plants
Plant fibre is especially composed of cellulose and cellulose fibres. These are most ordinarily wont to make paper and cloth.
Cellulose generates long, often highly lustrous fibres when prepared appropriately.
Plants including cotton, jute, flax and hemp are used to obtain plant fibres.
Jute
Jute fibre is obtained only from the stem of the jute plants. It is soft, shiny and long fibre with a silky texture which is grown in rainy
Jute mainly grows in regions having soil which is found within the delta regions of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers.

Fibres
The finer a part of the thread is mentioned as fibre.
Fibre may be a thread like structure that's spun into ropes, clothes and strings.
Fabrics are made of fibres obtained from natural or artificial sources. Example: rayon, nylon, polyester, etc.
Fibre to Yarn to Fabric
Fabric consists of thin strands called yarn, which successively consists of thinner strands called fibres.

Cotton and Its Processing
Cotton is obtained from cotton bolls which are directly from the surface of cotton seeds.
It is grown in black clayey soil with a warm climate.
The processing of cotton involves Ginning, Spinning, Weaving and Knitting.
Wool
Fibre from Animals
Wool



The natural animal product obtained from sheep, goat, yak, camel, etc.
All these animals have an outer covering of hair, which is shaved off to get wool fibres.

Silk
Natural protein fibre is cultivated from the cocoon of mulberry silkworm larvae.

Wool from Animals
Wool comes from sheep, goat, yak and a few other animals. These wool-yielding animals bear hair on their body because hair keeps them warm and wool comes from these hairy fibres.
Wool is employed to create various wool fabrics like woollen clothes, carpets, woollen sweaters, saddle cloths etc.

Rearing and Breeding of Sheep for Wool
Rearing: it's a process of breeding, feeding and providing treatment to sheep. These animals are kept since they produce one or more useful products for the individuals.

Breeding: Some special breeds of sheep are specially chosen to present birth to sheep which have only soft under hair. This process of choosing parents for obtaining special characters in their offspring is termed as ‘selective breeding’.

Processing fibres into wool
The skin of the sheep is hairy having two forms of fibres forming its fleece:
(i) the coarse beard hair
(ii) the fine soft under-hair near the skin is that the fleece.
This fleece is that the main source of fibres of wool.

The process of creating fibre into wool follows a series of processes: Shearing → Scouring → Sorting → Dyeing → Straightening, Rolling and brushing.
