Fibres are flexible, thread-like structures that are spun into yarn and woven or knitted into fabric. Natural fibres are obtained from plants, such as cotton from cotton bolls and jute from jute plants, or from animals, such as wool from sheep and silk from silkworms. Each natural fibre has unique properties and requires specific processing methods. Synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon, rayon, and acrylic are manufactured from chemical substances, primarily petroleum-based products. This Fibre to Fabric Quiz for Class 8 examines the properties and processing methods of both natural and synthetic fibres.
