There are a wide array of different types of fabrics that each have their own qualities, uses and styling potential. Fabrics can be divided into two main categories: natural fibers and synthetic fibers. Natural fibers are derived from plants or animals whereas synthetic fibers
are man-made from chemicals.Some of the most common types of fabrics are cotton, linen, silk, wool, polyester and nylon. Cotton is a natural fabric which is lightweight and breathable. It's versatile and can be used for everything from apparel to home décor. Linen is a natural fabric that's prized for its durability and lightness, but it wrinkles easily. Silk is made from the fibers of the silkworm and is soft, strong, and luxuriant. Wool is one of the oldest fabrics and is generally sourced from sheep. It's warm and durable, but it can be itchy.
