Sources of Clothes
We obtain clothes from both plants and animals.
Clothes obtained from animals
We get the following types of clothes from animals:
(i) Silk
(ii) Wool
Silk
We get silk from silkworm. Silkworm is a type of insect. They feed on mulberry leaves. They give out a long, sticky thread from their mouth. These thread are wrapped around their body and become their home, known as cocoon. The threads of cocoon are collected, processed and then woven to make silk.
Silk clothes
Wool
Sheep gives us wool. The thick hair that grows on the body of a sheep is collected, then cleaned and made into woollen threads. Wool is used to knit sweaters, caps, shawls, etc. It keeps us warm during winter.

Cotton
Cotton clothes are made from cotton plants. Cotton grows in pods. The pods are picked and thread is made from the cotton. Making thread from cotton is known as spinning. Weaving is the process of making clothes from thread.
