Fibre identification is a very important component to textile industries, fashion and design houses, and forensic science. The identification methods, however commonb across disparate industries, are conducted very differently in each. The technological changes create a constant need to improve identification methods. In spite of the increased pace of new technology, the old methods are often the best. This chapter covers the distinguishing features of natural textile fibres; their structure and properties; and various methods devised for their identification techniques and the forensic methods of fibre identification have been explained.
