Fibers can be made out of a number of things.
They can be organic, metallic or simply some sort of mineral like structure.
Nylon, Cotton, Lycra, Silk are among the organic ones.
These are made mainly out of chains of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Steel, copper, aluminum are among the metallic ones.
These are made mainly out of the metal that gives the name of the fiber, but other metals or traces of something can be added to improve special qualities.
Rockwool, Glass, Asbestos are among the mineral varieties.
These are made from minerals. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral.
There are thousands of different varieties of fibers in use today.
Most fibers in use for making cloths are organic although we do find Asbestos in special fireproof cloths for firefighters and other special units.
