Natural fabrics are made from animal, vegetable, and mineral fibers.

Vegetable fibers are used to produce the following:

Cotton grows around the seeds of the Gossypium plant. It is cellulose and might contain a little wax, fat, and water. The fibers are turned into threads to make a breathable, soft, and durable fabric.

Kinds of cotton fabrics include flannel, batiste, poplin, calico, chintz, cotton corduroy, denim, and more.
Linen fabrics are made from flax. Flax fabrics are very durable, breathable, they absorb moisture well, and dry faster than cotton. This is why it’s very comfortable to wear linen when it’s hot. Also, bed sheets and tablecloths are also made from linen.

Kinds of linen fabrics include damask linen, closely-woven linen, and loose-weave linen.
