    1. Made from Polymers - long chains of molecules
      1. Polymers are melted or dissolved in solution. This liquid is then forced through tiny holes & hardened to form filament fibres
        1. The filaments are stretched into yarn and wound onto spools
          1. Or chopped into staple lengths
      2. They either come from coal or oil
