- natural
yarn and fibers that grow by nature
- artificial
materials whose raw materials originate from nature but are somehow (chemically) transformed in structure / by transformation of natural polymers
- synthetic
materials made from synthetic polymers
- inorganic
materials where there are no polymers involved
All the materials that can be transformed into yarn and fibers - whereas Swicofil is able to source most of the below listed materials.
