Major fibers used today

The most common fiber is probably cotton. Cotton is often times spun into yarn to make clothes, furniture, etc. Another common fiber is polyester. Polyester is most commonly used in clothing, furniture, safety belts, and insulation for pillows and bed sheeting. Spandex is common, but when used it is usually mixed with polyester or cotton. Nylon is fairly common, being used for active wear, swimwear, hosiery, as well as parachutes, combat uniforms, and tires. Wool is a very common fiber that is obtained from sheep. Wool is most commonly used in clothing, blankets, horse rugs, etc.
