- 1What is the difference between staple fibres & filaments?Staple fibres are shorter
- 2Give one property of synthetic fibres which is useful for making a pleated skirt…They can be changed by heating them to form different shapes
- 3What are natural fibres?plant or animal based – wool, cotton, silk
- 4What are regenerated fibres?Fibres made from natural materials that are chemically treated

- 17Nanotechnology is being used to develop new fabrics with different properties What are nanomaterials?Fabrics made from nanofibres (tiny fibres)or fabrics made from regular fibres that have been modified using nanotechnology.
- 18What is a smart fabric?A fabric that reacts automatically to changes in the environment
- 19—Cool iron only
- 20—Hand Wash only
- 21Give one example of a natural dye..Onions, beetroot, tea, raspberries, flowers
