What is a Fabric?

A fabric is a flexible material formed as a result of networking of natural or synthetic fibers (thread or yarn) formed by weaving or knitting. In textile trade, the term fabric is often used as a synonym for cloth.

Fabric is formed from different types of fibers sourced from vegetables, animals, minerals etc. These fibers are then processed into yarns, which are finally used for manufacturing different types of fabrics.

A variety of fabrics are manufactured either wholly from a particular fiber or blended with different fibers for obtaining certain required properties. The last century has seen the formation of different types of fabric used in a large number of industries.
