Young Brunette Girl Posing With Textile Fabrics

• Straw and bamboo are both used to make hats. Straw, a dried form of grass, is also used for stuffing, as is kapok.
• Fibres from pulpwood trees, cotton, rice, hemp, and nettle are used in making paper.
• Cotton, flax, jute, hemp, modal and even bamboo fibre are all used in clothing. Piña (pineapple fibre) and ramie are also fibres used in clothing, generally with a blend of other fibres such as cotton. Nettles have also been used to make a fibre and fabric very similar to hemp or flax. The use of milkweed stalk fibre has also been reported, but it tends to be somewhat weaker than other fibres like hemp or flax.
• Acetate is used to increase the shininess of certain fabrics such as silks, velvets, and taffetas.
