This document provides a classification of textile fibers. It begins by discussing the history of natural fibers used in ancient civilizations. Fibers are then classified as either natural fibers, which include vegetable, animal and mineral fibers, or man-made fibers, which include regenerated, synthetic and inorganic fibers. Specific types of natural fibers are also categorized, such as vegetable fibers further divided into those occurring on seeds, in phloem, tendons, trunks and shells. Bast fibers are further delineated by their lignin content.
Home textiles are textile products used in households for both functional and aesthetic purposes. They include sheets, pillowcases, blankets, terry towels, table cloths, and carpets/rugs. These products are made from various natural and synthetic fabrics like cotton, polyester, linen, and wool. They serve important functions like absorbing moisture, providing warmth, decorating interior spaces, and insulating from heat and sound. Manufacturers aim to make these durable and easy to care for through properties like stain resistance, flame retardancy, and resistance to pilling and snagging.
Fibers can be divided into natural fibers and man-made or chemical fibers. Natural fibers include vegetable fibers like cotton, linen and jute, animal fibers like wool and silk, and mineral fibers like asbestos. Man-made fibers include regenerated fibers made from natural polymers like cellulose or protein, and synthetic fibers made from chemicals. Fibers are classified based on their origin, length, size and chemical composition to standardize and easily identify them.

The document discusses different types of textile fibers. Fibers can be classified as natural or man-made. Natural fibers include vegetable fibers like cotton, animal fibers like wool, and mineral fibers like asbestos. Vegetable fibers are derived from plants and contain cellulose. Animal fibers are made of protein. Mineral fibers are inorganic materials. Man-made fibers include regenerated fibers like rayon and synthetic fibers like nylon and polyester. The fibers discussed provide essential building blocks and raw materials for textile production through processes like spinning and weaving.
Batik is a manual wax-resist dyeing technique used to make colorful patterns on fabric. The tradition of batik originated in Indonesia but has spread to many other parts of Asia and Africa. Batik designs typically feature natural motifs and symbols from folklore. Over time, artists have developed different regional styles of batik using distinctive colors and patterns. The traditional batik process involves using melted wax and specialized tools to apply wax designs, then dyeing the fabric and removing the wax to reveal the unique patterns. Modern techniques now also use carved printing blocks to more efficiently produce intricate batik designs at scale. Batik is used for clothing, home decor, and is also an artistic medium in paintings.
