To create the texture, the fibre or raw material that will compose the fabric is selected. The categories established, based on their origin, are various. There are natural fibres of animal origin, such as silk or wool, or those derived from plant fibres such as linen or cotton. There are also artificial fibres extracted from the chemical transformations to which cellulose is subjected, such as rayon (1924) and synthetic fibres derived from petroleum, including nylon (1938) or polyester.
The transformation of each fibre into thread provides a priori a distinctive and recognisable nuance to the touch, which will increase with the production of the fabric, through the precise mathematical process of weaving or knitting.
