Explanation
Cloth is a material made by weaving or knitting fibers like cotton, wool, or silk. It is used to make clothes, curtains, blankets, and many household items. Cloth can be soft, rough, thick, or thin depending on the material. It is usually sold in pieces or rolls before being cut into shapes to make clothing or other products. People have used cloth for thousands of years to cover, protect, and decorate themselves. It is different from “clothes,” which are garments you wear. Cloth is the raw material, while clothes are the finished products.
