Natural Fibres: Cotton, Wool, Bast and Silk
You meet the four natural fibre families the way a factory and a buying office actually meet them. You learn what the numbers on a cotton bale, a wool test certificate, and a silk grade control, and what each fibre choice does to the garment and to the FOB.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a yarn specification and say what it will do in the finished garment: hand, strength, pilling, shrinkage, and price. And you can challenge a fibre choice or a count on a tech pack before it reaches a cost sheet.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a fibre specification you can buy against, for one real order. You write the cotton the way the trade writes it, the wool with the second number that decides comfort, and the linen with the crease and slub clauses that keep it off the defect list. You price every choice from raw fibre through to FOB.
