"In the 1930s, as technology advanced, humans learned how to create their own fiber. Since the 1950s many superlatived advances in synthetic fibers have been achived, and the availability of these man-made fibers has outstripped the natural ones.."
Thus except yarns made of animal wool, plant fibers (cotton, linen (flax), rayon and viscose, etc.), bast fibers (hemp, jute and tree bark) and silk itself, there is a category of man-made synthetic fibers such as acrylic (dralon, courtelle - the best quality acrylics), nylon, olefin, polyester, polyamide, acetate, anidex, aramid, azlon, elastoester, glass, lyocell, melamine, metallic, modacrylic, nytril, olefin, PBI, PEN, PLA, polypropylene, saran, spandex, sulfar, triacetate, vinal, vinyon, etc. For more information please refer to FiberSource.com
