Pineapple fibers, derived from the leaves of the pineapple plant, are processed to create fabrics through a series of steps. First, the leaves are harvested and the fibers are extracted by decorticating, or stripping away the leaf material. The fibers are then washed, dried, and sometimes treated to enhance their strength and softness. Finally, these fibers can be spun into yarn and woven or knitted to produce a sustainable textile known as piña or other pineapple-based fabrics.
Velvet is a fabric. Cotton, wool, and silk are fibers. An easy way to remember is that fabrics are fabricated. Fibers are materials. Fibers and materials are fabricated into fabrics.

Some use materials from pineapple leaves. Barong Tagalog has evolved to be made of many fabrics. The pineapple leaf fabrics are still most traditional and preferred in many formal events, such as weddings, but I've seen Barongs made from silk, lightweight translucent synthetics, such as polyester, and even some opaques in more recent times, such as satins.
Fabrics are made of fibers that can be natural (such as cotton, wool, silk) or synthetic (such as polyester, nylon, acrylic). These fibers are spun into yarn, which is then woven or knitted together to create a fabric. The specific combination of fibers and weaving or knitting techniques determine the properties of the fabric, such as texture, durability, and breathability.
Fabrics are made up of threads that are woven or knitted together. These threads can be natural fibers (such as cotton, silk, wool) or synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, acrylic). Fabrics can also contain blends of different fibers to achieve specific properties like stretch, durability, or moisture-wicking.

Synthetic fabrics are more flammable than natural fabrics because they are typically derived from petroleum-based chemicals, which are highly flammable. Additionally, synthetic fabrics often melt and stick to the skin when they burn, causing more severe burns compared to natural fibers that typically char and smolder. The chemical composition and structure of synthetic fibers make them ignite easily and burn more rapidly than natural fibers.
