If you are thinking about why you should know about types of fabrics, it’s because the kind of fabric you wear will define whether you are comfortable in a particular climate or not.
In our society, in fact, it also determines your class, profession, experience, and at times, even your personality. So, without any further delay, let us share with you, several common types of fabrics:
- Cotton
