WHAT IS FIBER :
Long strands of molecules interwoven to form a linear, string-like structure are known as ‘Fibres’. Fibers are natural or man-made such as cotton, silk, jute, etc
Fibers were discovered when early people realized the need to cover and protect their own hair and skin from the weather. Since early people would live in cold climate they hunted animals with skins (fur and food) that kept them warm. When used continuously this skin becomes harder and made it hard for the early men to hunt and hence later they started to treat this skin to maintain its softness. In a much later time, they started using the bones of animals as needle and nerves as the thread to stitch. And now decades later we finally know how to grow our own fibres and make clothes or fabrics out of them.
