An attempt to provide an insight for young children into the nature and uses of fibres, natural and artificial. The importance of plant and animal fibres is emphasized throughout and simple experiments explain how to get fibres out of a pineapple leaf and how to make a piece of homespun yarn. This book is one of a series which aims to encourage young children to look closely at their surroundings, ask questions about their discoveries and try simple experiments to find out how and why things happen.
