Animal fibers are natural fibers obtained from the hair, fur, or secretions of animals. Common examples include wool from sheep, silk from silkworms, and cashmere from goats. These fibers are valued for their warmth, softness, and durability, making them popular choices for clothing and textiles. The production of animal fibers involves shearing, harvesting, or collecting the material from the animals. After collection, the fibers are cleaned, processed, and spun into yarn. Animal fibers can be dyed and woven or knitted into various fabrics, contributing to a wide range of products, from cozy sweaters to luxurious scarves.
