Synthetic Fibres: Pros -Easy to wash -Most are resilient -Hydrophobic (hates water) -Nylon and polyester are thermoplastic -Cheap (e.g. Acrylic is a cheaper substitute of wool) -Strong & Hardwearing -Nylon is waterproof when closely woven Cons -High Static -Not Absorbent Natural Fibres: Pros -Absorbent -Low Static -Wool and Silk are resilient -Wool and Silk are warm to wear -Cotton and Linen are cool to wear -Strong and Stronger when wet Cons -Cotton and Linen crease easily -Cotton: damaged by sunlight and mildew -Silk is very delicate and therefore is quite difficult to wash/dry etc, it scorches easily as well -Some people think wool is itchy -Some people think linen is uncomfortable to wear If you have a blend of fibres they can cancel each other out. Depending on what you need the fibre for will depend on which fibre you use. I hope this helps :)

∙ 14y agoNot all synthetic fibers are cheaper than natural fibers. Kevlar is more expensive than cotton for example. The synthetic fibers that are cheaper than natural fibers are cheap because they are built from cheap raw materials and produced very efficiently, for example, nylon and polyester are mostly built from oil byproducts and are efficiently produced in huge amounts. In contrast silk is only made by farming silk worms, which is a comparatively labor intensive process that relies more on the silk worms than thermodynamics and reaction engineering, there fore it is harder to control it's production efficiantly.

∙ 11y agoThere are many reasons as to why synthetic fibres are better than natural fibres
1) They do not wrinkle easily
2) Have good elasticity
3) They are more durable yet less expensive

∙ 15y agonatural fibres are present in nature as cotton, wool, silk while synthetic fibres are prepared synthetically like nylon, polyester

∙ 12y agosynthetic fibers are very useful to us
tell me something i want to no
tell something i dont know but i know but can not understand but none of ur bissness =P

Synthetic fibres are man-made fibres and natural fibres are fibres that come from plants or animals..
Wool is Natural Fibre
Natural fibres are good to wear and comfortable. But their cost is high. Synthetic Fibres are cheap but sometimes uncomfortable. Manufacturers mix synthetic fibres with natural fibres so that cloth they make get the characteristics of both synthetic and natural fibres. They become comfortable to wear and cheap in price..................................................
synthetic fibres are more durable and stronger than natural fibres. But they are not suitable for hot weather as they do not allow air to pass through them.
Natural fibres have been found or have been raised, though synthetic fibres have been man made. synthetic fibers have been made in a factory of some sort and natural fibers have been made by something that can be found in nature

Crochet is a style of needlework that can produce blankets of wool, linen, cotton, silk or a combination of these natural fibres, or made from synthetic fibres or combinations of natural fibres and synthetic fibres.
Because some fibres, eg wool are natural.
fibres are a plant which gives us natural fibre's are classified into 2 types they are natural fibres & synthetic fibres

NATURAL FIBRES KEEP WARM. NATURAL FIBRES KEEP WARM.
Cotton grows from a plant naturally, synthetics are manufactured fibers. Cotton absorbs moisture whereas synthetic fibres generally do not. Cotton is natural and can be eaten by insects whereas synthetic fibres can not, they are around in land fill for hundreds of years. Cotton does not trap moisture, it is permeable, many synthetic fibres are not. Both are polymers.
A material made mainly of natural or synthetic fibres. A material made mainly of natural or synthetic fibres.
synthetic fibres are more durable and stronger than natural fibres. But they are not suitable for hot weather as they do not allow air to pass through them.
natural fibres decompose faster than man made fibres because latter is a synthetic fiber. synthetic fibre has a plastiy smell. any thing made of plastic will not degrade.
