Fabric is made in lots of different ways depending on lots of

different things.

Do you know any names of different fabrics?

Fabric can be made from things in nature. This is called natural

fibres.

Fabric can also be made from manmade fibres known as

synthetic.

Felt, cotton, denim, linen, polyester, wool, silk…. There are hundreds! Did you get any?

Cotton is one of the most

common natural fabrics and

it is made by a process

known as ‘weaving’. Its done with very thin fibres which

look like lines of thread.

See if you can have a go at

weaving using stripes of

paper and tape. Advantages oIt’s hard wearing oIts strong

oIt has a smooth finish oIt is a cheap weave to produce

usually from chemical sources.

Synthetic fibres are man made
