Variations in the hand and appearance of fabrics with the same fiber content can be caused by differences in the weave or finish used in each fabric. The use of textured yarns, a modification done to many fibers, prior to knitting or weaving, can also alter the appearance of a fiber from smooth, lustrous, and flat to crimped, dull, and soft.
