Cotton is a natural fibre, like silk, wool, or linen. Alongside natural fibres, there are artificial and synthetic man-made fibres. Artificial fibres (such as viscose rayon and acetates) are made from organic polymers derived from natural raw materials, mainly cellulose. Synthetic fibres (including acrylics, polyamides, and polyesters) are generally derived from petrochemicals.
