Cotton, wool, silk and flax are among the natural fibres used to make clothes.
Clothes made of cotton fabrics are worn during the hot days of summer.
Clothes made of wool are worn during the cold days of winter.
Clothes made of silk are most comfortable when the weather is neither very hot nor very cold.
