Fiber is produced through various natural and synthetic processes. Natural fibers come from plants (such as cotton and flax), animals (like wool and silk), or minerals (like asbestos), where the raw materials are harvested, processed, and spun into threads. Synthetic fibers, such as polyester and nylon, are created through chemical processes that convert petroleum-based products into fiber-forming polymers, which are then extruded, cooled, and spun into usable threads. The final product, whether natural or synthetic, is often woven or knitted into fabrics for various uses.
