Abstract
Animal fibers consist of animal hairs and fibers from animals' secretion. Their main chemical components are proteins that are formed by a series of amino acids through polymerization of peptide bonds into macromolecular chains; thus, animal fibers are also called natural protein fibers. The animal fibers are mainly classified as hair fibers and silk fibers. For a long period, animal fibers are good raw textile materials because of their high elasticity, warmth retention, water absorption, and soft luster. They can be interlaced into many types of high level of yarns and garments throughout four seasons of a year and surely other decorative and technical textiles.
