Textile that has been constructed by weaving, knitting, or felting. Fabrics are constructed from a wide range of different yarns and fibres ranging from natural fibre such as cotton, silk, linen, and wool, to synthetic fibre such as nylon, polyester, acetate, acrylic, lycra, and rayon.

Each type of fibre can be made into a range of different fabrics. For example, cotton fibre is used to make organdie, jersey, lace, and denim. For rayon fibre, the fabric range includes velvet, taffeta, and flannel.

The bison's head, star, rose, and crescent are traditional symbols of Moldavia. The colours are based on the Romanian flag. Effective date: 3 November 1990. >>
