Perhaps no fiber is as familiar as the fluffy white product of the cotton plant. Cotton is actually a vegetable seed fiber grown in tropical and warm regions such as the southern United States, Egypt, India, China and Brazil. Of all textile natural fibers, cotton is indeed the single most important because of its versatility and durability.
The oldest natural fibers known to man, linen has a history dating back to the Stone Age and was once in such widespread use that it became the generic term for many of our household items. Though it has since become less common, linen is still an extremely well-loved, luxurious yet functional, product. Linen fibers come from the blue-flowered flax plant that grows mainly in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Ancient Egyptians wrapped their mummies in linen strips, making full use of its incredible natural strength, which actually increases when wet (that's the reason linen washes so well and is so long lasting). In addition, linen is highly breathable and nonallergenic, has excellent color fastness and becomes even softer with repeated washings.
Superbly soft and shiny, beautiful silk is actually an animal fiber spun by the silkworm while it constructs its cocoon. The fiber is similar in structure to human skin cells, but is also extraordinarily strong and resilient. It has been said that a fiber of silk is stronger than a fiber of steel. Silk is temperature regulating; it keeps wearers warm in winter and cool in summer by transporting moisture away from the body and into the air. These natural fibers are wonderful for allergy sufferers.
Wool is the fleece that is sheared from sheep. It is warm, keeping body heat in and cold air out. It has the ability to absorb up to 30 percent of its own weight in moisture, making it naturally water and snow repellent. Wool is extremely durable - many wool products last for generations. There are as many varieties of wool as there are kinds of sheep, Merino and Shetland being among the most well known. Lambswool is the first shearing of the lamb, clipped before the animal is nine months old. It is usually very soft and fine.
