Custom Natural Fabric Printing

What are natural fabrics?

Natural fabrics are textiles made from all natural fibres and substances. These can come from animals or plants and have been used for thousands of years to produce clothing, interiors, furnishings and more.

Some of the most popular natural fibre options available include:

Animal fibres

Silk – Developed in ancient China from silk worms, known as “the queen of fabrics”
Cashmere – very soft and luxurious, from the neck hair of Cashmere and other goats
Wool – rich and insulating fiber from sheep
Mohair – fine and silky and very soft, from the Angora goat
Angora wool – fine, luxurious, and soft from the Angora rabbit
Alpaca wool – A luxurious wool used to make high-end items

Plant fibres

Cotton – the world’s most used natural fiber from the cotton plant
Bamboo – soft and moisture wicking fiber growing in popularity
Flax – a very strong vegetable fiber and one of the oldest
Jute – very strong and used to make sackcloth
Hemp – the fiber from the cannabis plant
Coir – coarse and short fiber from coconuts

How are they manufactured?

Each type of natural fabric is manufactured slightly differently. Natural fibres can be spun to make thread, filaments and rope. When these are woven, knitted, bonded or matted, they become the natural materials we all know. Textiles, such as natural linen fabrics, are one of the oldest materials known and the only thing that has changed slightly is the manufacturing process.

It starts with the fiber and how that is extracted as well as treated to become a thread or yarn. As some natural fibers are plant derived and others animal, the extraction and process methods are different. Wool including Angora and Cashmere, for example, is either sheared or combed, whereas silk comes from the cocoon of the Mulberry silkworm.

Plant fibers come from harvesting the specific plant or crop and following exact methods to obtain the correct form of the fiber.

Fibre is the base of all textiles, which are made in 3 stages:

Spinning – fibers are first spun to make yarns (which are used to create the fabric)
Weaving/Knitting – this is when the yarns are made into textiles
Finishing – textiles are finished to make them more useful for their intended purpose

Purposes

Natural materials have been used for centuries from all corners of the world. They are utilized predominantly in the fashion and clothing industry, but they are also used in furnishings, interiors, insulators and technology.

Thanks to their myriad of properties and the fact that they are produced sustainably, natural fabrics have continued to grow in popularity.
