Some are warm, some are cool, others are super strong, and some are only suitable for parties. Have you ever wondered how clothes and other textiles are made and why they have different properties? Well, it all depends on the type of fibres used in the fabric. In this film, you'll learn more about how different textiles are manufactured, their properties, and what they're commonly used for. For example, you'll find out that cotton, wool, and linen are examples of natural fibres, which come from animals or plants, while nylon, polyester, and acrylic are made artificially from synthetic fibres. The film shows various uses and examples of different types of textiles. Finally, you'll be encouraged to reuse textiles as much as possible since they're often difficult to recycle.
