fabric

Textile that has been constructed by weaving, knitting, or felting. Fabrics are constructed from a wide range of different yarns and fibres ranging from natural fibre such as cotton, silk, linen, and wool, to synthetic fibre such as nylon, polyester, acetate, acrylic, lycra, and rayon.

Each type of fibre can be made into a range of different fabrics. For example, cotton fibre is used to make organdie, jersey, lace, and denim. For rayon fibre, the fabric range includes velvet, taffeta, and flannel.
