Clothing can insulate against cold or hot conditions, and it can provide a hygienic barrier,
keeping infectious and toxic materials away from the body. It can protect feet from injury and
discomfort or facilitate navigation in varied environments. Clothing also provides protection
from ultraviolet radiation.

Clothing (also known as clothes, garments, dress, apparel, or attire) is any item worn on the
body. Typically, clothing is made of fabrics or textiles, but over time it has included garments
made from animal skin and other thin sheets of materials and natural products found in the
environment, put together.

adopts.Individual Expression: Personal style is a unique and individual expression of one's
personality through clothing choices.

TEXTILE

- any cloth or goods produced by weaving, knitting, or felting. a material, as a fiber or

yarn, used in or suitable for weaving: Glass can be used as a textile.

Example of Weaving
Example of Knitting

Example of Felting

Textiles - are materials made of natural or synthetic fibers. These fibers can be animal-based
(silk and wool), plant-based (cotton, flax, and hemp, among others), or synthetic (Kevlar,
nylon, polyester, and spandex, among others).

ANIMAL-BASED FIBERS
Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein
fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to
form cocoons.

Example:
Wools

- primarily comes from sheep, with Merino wool coming from Merino sheep. Wool is
made up of the protein keratin - the same protein found in human hair.

Example:

PLANT-BASED FIBERS
Cotton- is made from the natural fibers of cotton plants, which are from the genus
Gossypium.

Example:
Flax fiber- is obtained from the inner bark of the stem of a plant grown in temperate and
subtropical regions of the world. It is a natural, cellulosic, multi-cellular bast fiber.
Example:

Hemp fibers- are a natural plant fiber, also known as a bast fiber, meaning it derives from the
stem of a plant, and are the strongest bast natural fibers in the family.
Example:

SYNTHETIC
Kevlar- is a type of aramid fiber. It is woven into textile materials and is extremely strong
and lightweight, with resistance toward corrosion and heat. It is used in vast applications such
as aerospace engineering (such as the body of the aircraft), body armor, bulletproof vests, car
brakes, and boats.
Example:
Nylons- are white or colorless and soft; some are silk-like. They are thermoplastic, which
means that they can be melt-processed into fibers, films, and diverse .
Example:

Polyester- is used for disposable plastic bottles due to its resistance to microorganisms and
does not degrade biologically. Sports Gear, Sportswear, Upholstery, Covers, and Table
Cloths. Polyester is used in manufacturing products often utilized outdoors due to its
durability and stain resistance.

example:

Spandex- is a synthetic fabric that is prized for its elasticity.

Example:

Textiles
have an
assortment of uses, the most common of which are for clothing and for containers
such as bags and baskets. In the household, textiles are used in carpeting, upholstered
furnishings, window shades, towels, coverings for tables, beds, and other flat surfaces,
