Once, Paheli visited a tailor shop and brought home some cutting of fabric to study their properties. She took two pieces and found that one of the pieces was shrinking when it burnt with a candle. However the other did not shrink on burning. Can you help her to find out which of the two was a cotton fabric and which a silk fabric?

State whether the following statements are true or false. If false. Correct them.

(a) Silk is a plant fiber.

(b) Jute is obtained from the leaves of the plant.

(c) Weaving is a process of arranging two sets of yarn together.

(d) Cotton yarn on burning gives an odour similar to that of a burning paper.

The following is an answer given by Boojho to a question asked by his teacher-‘’Cotton, Wool, Silk, and Jute are classified as natural fibres whereas nylon and polyester are classified as synthetic fibres.’’

Can you tell what question the teacher has asked?

One way of making fabric from yarn is weaving, what is the other?

Boojho with perfect eyesight was finding it difficult to pass a thread through the eye of a needle. What can be the possible reason for this?
