synthetic fiber
Lab-made thread material
A synthetic fiber is a textile material made from chemical compounds rather than natural sources like cotton, wool, or silk.
Nylon, polyester, and acrylic are common synthetic fibers, valued for durability, wrinkle resistance, and low cost.
The jacket is made from synthetic fibers that wick away moisture.
