<textile materials>

Collocates descriptors for the general category of materials produced by weaving, felting, knotting, twining, or otherwise processing natural or synthetic fibers so that they cohere into a form or unit; traditionally excludes fiberboard, paper, papier-mâché, and papyrus, which, though also fiber products, are considered as separate types of material. For items made of textile materials, see descriptors collocated under "textiles."
