Clues
- a regenerated fibre that has a very soft cotton like feel but creases easily. (7)
- a rubber based material that can be used to add stretch and elasticity to products (8)
- a staple or filament fibre that is made using 'environmentally friendly' manufacturing processes (6)
- A versatile synthetic fibre that is often blended with other fibres. Polatec and Patagonia make recycled polyester from plastic bottles. (9)
- also known as flax. A cellulose based fibre. Fibres that are produced are smooth, straight, lustrous and very smooth. Used for clothing and furnishings. Fabrics are cool to wear (5)
- creates a soft, warm fabric that emulates wool in its handle and feel (7)
- from sheep and other animals. Fibres have a crimp or curl and have overlapping scales that can lock together and create felt. (4)
- produced from a seed boll. A cellulose based fibre. The fibres are short staple fibres. They are picked by hand or machine, cleaned and then turned into yarn. Products made from this fibre are cool to wear but can be brushed which makes them warm (6)
- regarded as a modern fibre it is very strong and robust. It can be mixed with other fibres (5)
- very strong fibres that are used for a variety of protective products. Kevlar and Nomex are well known types of this fibre. (6)
