Bast fiber from oak trees forms the oldest preserved woven fabrics in the world. It was unearthed at the archeological site at Çatalhöyük in Turkey and dates to 8000-9000 years ago.

Papyrus, a pith fiber, akin to a bast fiber; Ramie, a member of the nettle family. Spanish broom, a legume, its fiber has similar characteristics to linen. [6] Tilia, known as Linden or Lime in Europe and Basswood in North America. Fiber comes from inner bark. [7] Leaf fibers. Abacá, a banana, producing "manila" rope from leaves; Piña, from ...
Textile fibres or textile fibers (see spelling differences) can be created from many natural sources (animal hair or fur, cocoons as with silk worm cocoons), as well as semisynthetic methods that use naturally occurring polymers, and synthetic methods that use polymer-based materials, and even minerals such as metals to make foils and wires.
Jute fibers, composed primarily of cellulose and lignin, are collected from bast (the phloem of the plant, sometimes called the "skin") of plants like kenaf, industrial hemp, flax , and ramie. The industrial term for jute fiber is raw jute. The fibers are off-white to brown and range from 1–4 meters (3.3–13.1 ft) long.
Bast fiber: Bast fibers are collected from the outer cell layers of the plant's stem. These fibers are used for durable yarn, fabric, packaging, and paper. Some examples are flax, jute, kenaf, industrial hemp, ramie, rattan, and vine fibers. [9] A field of jute Fruit fiber: Fibers collected from the fruit of the plant, for example, coconut fiber .
Kenaf long fiber from the bast. The fibres in kenaf are found in the bast (bark) and core (wood). The bast constitutes 40% of the plant. "Crude fibre" separated from the bast is multi-cellular, consisting of several individual cells stuck together. [6] The individual fibre cells are about 2–6 mm long and slender. The cell wall is thick (6.3 μm).
The inner bark of Lagetta species—the phloem layer that carries nutrients from the leaves to the roots—consists of twenty to thirty tough, thin, dense layers of interlacing bast fibers. [ 7 ] [ 10 ] Whereas in most economically important fibrous plants the bast fibers are formed in straight, parallel lines, in the Lagetta species they ...
Fiber composition [72] the fiber blend composition of mixtures of the fibers, [73] is an important criterion to analyze the behavior, properties such as functional aspects, and commercial classification of the merchandise. [74] [75] [76] The most common blend is cotton and polyester. Regular blended fabric is 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
