Synthetic fabrics

Synthetic fabrics do not come from plants or animals. They are made of chemicals, and the chemicals usually come from oil. There are many different synthetic fabrics. Nylon, polyester, Spandex, and Gore-Tex are some of the most important ones. They are light and strong. They can stretch and fit close to the body, so they are often used for sports clothes, for example, shirts and shorts for cyclists.

Wool

People have always worn clothes made of wool, especially in cold countries. The wool comes from sheep, alpacas, and other animals. There are different types of wool. In some wool, the threads are thin. This wool is used to make sweaters and scarves. Thicker threads are used to make blankets and carpets. We can make seven sweaters with the wool from one sheep.
