Some Things we have Learned About Fabrics

• Polyester might have been around since 1934
• Spiders' webs are made from spiders' silk, but silk fabric is made from silkworms' silk. Silk isn't made in Africa
• Nylon was probably first made in 1913 (February 28th) by Dr Wallis H. Carothers
  
• Huge machines are used to pull the cotton into a tray which filters out the leaves and twigs before it is made into thread.
