    Fibres: Fibre Is The British/Canadian Spelling and Fiber Is The American

    Uploaded by

    Fibre refers to textile fibers that can be natural or synthetic. Fibers are long, thin strands that are much longer than they are thick, usually measuring between 2-46 centimeters in length and 10-50 micrometers in thickness. Natural fibers like silk occur naturally in staple form, while synthetic fibers can be produced as long continuous filaments ranging from hundreds of meters to kilometers in length. Fibers are the basic raw material used to make yarns and fabrics through processes like weaving, knitting, and nonwoven manufacturing.
