Cotton is the most used natural fiber that is why it is the best choice to make soft and breathable clothes. It is also a good thermal insulator.

It is quite breathable and light, reason why it is mainly used to manufacture summer clothes.

Sheep wool is even more breathable and insulating than cotton. Its main drawback is that it is not as soft as other fabrics, for that reason it is mainly used to make clothes that are not in touch with the skin (sweaters, jackets, coats…).

This textile is known for its softness and shine, apart from being quite strong. It is used to manufacture high-quality clothes.

(A silkworm)

This fabric is famous for its soft feel and thermal insulation. It is warmer and lighter than common wool.

It is a very strong, soft and light textile. It is used to manufacture weather (cold, rain, wind…) resistant coats, ropes, fishing line, brushes…

It is a strong and durable fabric (but less than nylon) that does not absorb liquids (waterproof). Its main drawback is that it is not breathable, so it is frequently mixed with other fibers like cotton.

This kind of fabric is extremely strong, tough and light. This is why it is used in the aerospace industry and to manufacture competition vehicles (in Formula 1 competitions, for example). It is also used in other applications in which lightness is necessary, for example, to make windmill blades.
