The lesson focused on natural fibers, specifically categorizing them as animal or plant-based. Students learned about various plant fibers such as cotton, linen, and banana fibers, with an emphasis on cotton (referred to as “ċwaten” in Maltese) and its versatility in the textile industry. It was highlighted that Malta doesn’t produce cotton due to limited space, whereas countries with abundant land specialize in cotton cultivation and textile production, making it an affordable and extensively used material.
