A fibre is a natural or artificial thread that is usually used to make cloth or rope. Fibres come from the hair of invertebrates and mammals. Mainly from a Vacuna, Alpaca, Muskox, Merino sheep, Angora Rabbit, Cashmere goat, Camel, Guanaco, Tapad Llama, Chinchilla, Angora Goat, Huacaya Alpaca, or Ccara Llama.
Animal fibres are woven, knitted, or even felted to make clothes and other products. Once the fibres are ready, they are made into soft and warm jackets, wraps, blazers, shawls, ponchos, coats and other forms of clothing and accessories.
Wool is similar to animal fibres, also being able to make clothings. But wool has other purposes, like Insulator, Ferterliser, and you can even find wool in pianos softening the impact of the piano hammers.
