What's the difference between natural and synthetic fabrics? Natural fabrics, like merino wool, cotton, cashmere, and silk, are made of fibers that are produced by animals and plants. Synthetic fabrics, like polyester, nylon and acrylic, are "man-made" fibers that are created in laboratories.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two kinds of fibers: Natural and Manufactured

Natural fibers are produced by animals and plants through geological processes. They can be spun into ropes, thread and filaments. The next process involves woving and knitting.

Manufactured or man fibers are created through chemical processes or natural materials.
